Some development questions

Hi all,

I have spend some time in the sources of the driver now, that I got a
good understanding of whats going on.
I have started to make /usr/src/linux/scripts/checkpatch.pl more
happier about the current source. I want
to "fix" most of the style issues which are left. You can have a first
look at my work here:
http://freehg.org/u/austriancoder/em8300-cgmeiner/
Hope such patches will find their way into the main repository :)

The next thing on my clean up list is to get rid of these "Register
access macros". If you look closely
at the source you will find references to write_register and to writel
- for writing values into registers.
After a quick research I found this one:
http://lwn.net/Articles/102232/ (usable > 2.6.9).
I hope you share my opinion to do it everywhere in the source the
same... so I want go for writel.

What is your opinion?

After this, I will try to update some known registers as I saw two or
more times the same sequence like

        writel(0x2, &em->mem[0x2000]);
        writel(0x0, &em->mem[0x2000]);

or

        /* Release reset */
        write_register(0x2000, 0x1);

So it seems that register 0x2000 has something to do with risc core reset.

cheers,
Christian
