[PATCH linux dev-4.7 0/8] Aspeed SMC improvements

[Cédric Le Goater]

Hello,

Here is short serie improving the Aspeed SMC driver. There are a
couple of fixes and also changes preparing ground for read
optimization.

Patch 1 and 2 are fixes for the current driver. When merging all the
code before sending a v1 to mainline, a few minor errors slipped
through.

Patch 3 and 4 are cleanups.

Patch 5 and 6 should not have any impacts as we are not using DMAs or
fast reads, yet.

Patch 7 and 8 are more important. They change completely the IO
routines and the way the flash is accessed for reads. These are
preliminary work for some possible speed improvements.

The overall result should be a v2 for upstream.

Cheers,

C.
