Subject: Re: [PATCH] include/asm-generic/io.h: add dummy fuctions to support
'COMPILE_TEST' in 'asm-generic'.
Hello All:
It seems 'asm-generic' dislikes 'mad users' (e.g allmodconfig,
randconfig, and me).
I guess the main reason is: 'asm-generic' thinks what mad users talk
about is useless in real world, so it is just noisy.
I can understand, at least what I talk about is not for urgent things.
(maybe 'asm-generic' also thinks it not important either, every members
have their own opinions).
Next, I still use allmodconfig/randconfig for some architectures which I
am interested in (and also for learning compilers), but I will skip all
things which are related with 'asm-generic', since it dislikes me (a mad
user).
At last, I make an apologize to 'asm-generic' for my mad discussing.
Bye !!
