Different platforms and architectures offer different NVRAM sizes and access methods. E.g. PPC32 has byte-at-a-time read/write functions whereas PPC64 has byte-range read/write functions. Adopt the nvram_ops struct so the nvram module can call such functions as are defined by the various platforms and architectures. Signed-off-by: Finn Thain --- The #ifdefs here restrict the procfs and checksumming code to those architectures with PC-style RTC NVRAM. There may be a better place for that code but it's an open question. See https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/2/3/22 The procfs code here, unless relevant to an ARM platform, could be moved to arch/x86 (like the earlier patch does for m68k code) and the nvram ops could be implemented and exported by the rtc-cmos driver instead. This would eliminate these #ifdefs and almost eliminate the arch-specific code. --- drivers/char/nvram.c | 30 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++--- include/linux/nvram.h | 2 ++ 2 files changed, 29 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) Index: linux/drivers/char/nvram.c =================================================================== --- linux.orig/drivers/char/nvram.c 2015-08-23 20:40:58.000000000 +1000 +++ linux/drivers/char/nvram.c 2015-08-23 20:40:59.000000000 +1000 @@ -51,9 +51,12 @@ static DEFINE_MUTEX(nvram_mutex); static DEFINE_SPINLOCK(nvram_state_lock); static int nvram_open_cnt; /* #times opened */ static int nvram_open_mode; /* special open modes */ +static ssize_t nvram_size; #define NVRAM_WRITE 1 /* opened for writing (exclusive) */ #define NVRAM_EXCL 2 /* opened with O_EXCL */ +#if defined(CONFIG_X86) || defined(CONFIG_ARM) + /* * These functions are provided to be called internally or by other parts of * the kernel.
