Well, this function was apparently introduced for a reason, and it's exported. So I am just trying to clarify on the comment here. I'd leave it to people more familiar with NVMe and its implementation in U-Boot to remove something. > > */ > > > > - return nvme_submit_admin_cmd(dev, &c, result); > > + return ret; > > } > > > > int nvme_set_features(struct nvme_dev *dev, unsigned fid, unsigned > > dword11, > > @@ -508,8 +517,14 @@ int nvme_set_features(struct nvme_dev *dev, unsigned > > fid, unsigned dword11, > > c.features.dword11 = cpu_to_le32(dword11); > > > > /* > > - * TODO: add cache flush operation when the size of > > - * the DMA buffer is known > > + * TODO: Add a cache clean (aka flush) operation when a DMA buffer is > The operation is called flush in U-Boot, cache clean is ARM-specific > terminology, avoid it in generic drivers. > > > + * involved in the request.

I originally wanted to, but didn't for two reasons: - It's not trivial, since the buffer usage seems to differ between the features. This would require to enumerate all the features involved, and then to include all the special cases. I would probably mess this up, so I didn't want to introduce untested and hard-to-verify information. - There is little point in adding specific information when we will never need it. The spec is the authority, anyone can look that up. Yes, the enumeration might change, that's why I added the section name, hoping that people adding a feature can piece things together. The numbering was valid for v1.3 and is still in the latest v1.4b, so I can just add that version number to make this less ambiguous.
