The point is that this register seems to act as a FIFO for a byte-stream rather than a 32-bit fixed-endian register.
Thanks, using writesl() fixes the warning, but I need to keep the loop since the register is different each time.
Ah, I see. I thought we had an interface for that as well, but I can't find it now. I see memcpy_toio32() in one driver, but that implementation appears to be wrong here (and probably also wrong for the machine it was meant for)
There is the regular memcpy_toio(), but on big-endian Arm that turns into a per-byte copy, which might either not work on your hardware or be too slow.
There is also __iowrite32_copy(), which is not what I had remembered but does seem to do what you want here.
Or does it is better to use directly __raw_writel() ?
__raw_writel() is not very portable, so I would avoid that in normal device drivers even when you only run them on specific hardware.
