Hi all,

When I tried to use devm_ioremap function and review related code, I found
devm_ioremap and devm_ioremap_nocache is almost the same with each other,
except one use ioremap while the other use ioremap_nocache.

For all arches? Really? Look at MIPS, and x86, they have different
functions.

While ioremap's
default function is ioremap_nocache, so devm_ioremap_nocache also have the
same function with devm_ioremap, which can just be killed to reduce the size
of devres.o(from 20304 bytes to 18992 bytes in my compile environment).

I have posted two versions, which use macro instead of function for
devm_ioremap_nocache[1] or devm_ioremap[2]. And Greg suggest me to kill
devm_ioremap_nocache for no need to keep a macro around for the duplicate
thing. So here comes v3 and please help to review.

I don't think this can be done, what am I missing? These functions are
not identical, sorry for missing that before.

devm_ioremap() and devm_ioremap_nocache() are quite similar, both use devm_ioremap_release() for the release, why not just defining:

static void __iomem *__devm_ioremap(struct device *dev, resource_size_t offset,
resource_size_t size, bool nocache)
{
[...]
if (nocache)
addr = ioremap_nocache(offset, size);
else
addr = ioremap(offset, size);
[...]
}

then in include/linux/io.h

static inline void __iomem *devm_ioremap(struct device *dev, resource_size_t offset,
resource_size_t size)
{return __devm_ioremap(dev, offset, size, false);}

static inline void __iomem *devm_ioremap_nocache(struct device *dev, resource_size_t offset,
resource_size_t size);
{return __devm_ioremap(dev, offset, size, true);}

thanks,
