Hi PPC Maintainers, We are seeking feedback on the status of relaxed write API implementation. What is the motivation for not implementing the relaxed API?
I see that network drivers are working around the issue by calling __raw_write() API directly but this also breaks other architectures like SPARC since the semantics of __raw_writel() seems to be system dependent. This is putting drivers into a tight position and they cannot achieve true multi-arch enablement and are forced into calling __raw APIs flavors directly with #ifdef BIG_ENDIAN ugliness.
