Re: why iowrite32_rep() doesn't work, I have to use the iowrite32() with a loop

What I want is a relaxed version of the io{read,write}32, as I don't need to flush between I am writing the registers table into the registers. I only want to flush the cache at the last and isolated register which I will set later.

None of these functions do anything with cache. And with devm_ioremap_resource you will likely get an uncached mapping of your IO memory, so you don't even need to manage cache. What you still need to preserve the order of writes is a memory barrier, and none of io{read,write}32 do it either. You can insert proper barrier before the write to that last isolated register. -- Thanks. -- Max
