Make sense for the virtio-pci case where API name io_read/write as good as
rte_read/write. However, IMO for other drivers for example ADF_CSR_RD/WR
improves code readability compared to plain rte_read/write.
Also IMO replacing code incident like below
static inline void writel(unsigned int val, volatile void __iomem *addr)
{
- *(volatile unsigned int *)addr = val;
+ rte_writel(val, addr);
}
with direct rte_read/write more appropriate. does above said make sense
to you?
If so then I will take care for all such driver in V2.
