[PATCH RFC 1/3] arm: handle demuxed ID registers
Posted by Cornelia Huck 2 weeks, 6 days ago
For some registers, we do not have a single ID register, but actually
an array of values (e.g. CCSIDR_EL1, where the actual value is
determined by whatever CSSELR_EL1 points to.) If we want to avoid
using a different way to handle registers like that for every
instance, we should provide some kind of infrastructure. Therefore,
add accessors {GET,SET}_IDREG_DEMUX that are similar to the accessors
we already use for regular ID registers.

Hi,

Trivial, but I'd like a comment on why 16. I assume because that's
the biggest you've seen so far (8 levels, 2 types for CCSIDR)
Just good to have a bread crumb here for future readers.

Otherwise seems reasonable to me.

Yes, this came in via the current ccsidr[] sizing (which also might not
be quite the right thing to use, given that we could have 2*7 + 7
entries with FEAT_MTE2); I'm not at all sure whether that's a reasonable
value, but I'll certainly add a comment if we agree that it is. Or maybe
make it a #define.

Thanks for looking!
