yes, that makes sense, sometimes , I also feel these functions are a
little redundant,
let me see if I can improve it.

OK , that makes sense

good idea, but it's just used once, not sure if it's worthy
Actually, I have seen some macro in some driver, but not in kernel header file.

cool, thanks , fixed it

why? WOR just for pretimeout in this driver.

we just setup WOR, but we don't need to load pretimeout to WCV now, right ?

I thinks I need to confirm it , in case this has been cleaned.

yes, I have fixed it .
