Sort of? But I thought that the RPMh hardware was basically 32-bit
little-endian registers. That's why write_tcs_*() APIs in
drivers/soc/qcom/rpmh-rsc.c use writel() and readl(), right? The
cpu_to_le32() code that's there today is doing nothing, because the CPU
is little-endian 99% of the time. It's likely doing the wrong thing on
big-endian machines. Looking at commit 6311b6521bcc ("drivers: qcom: Add
BCM vote macro to header") it seems to have picked the macro version
from interconnect vs. clk subsystem. And commit b5d2f741077a
("interconnect: qcom: Add sdm845 interconnect provider driver") used
cpu_to_le32() but I can't figure out why.
If the rpmh-rsc code didn't use writel() or readl() I'd believe that the
data member is simply a u32 container. But those writel() and readl()
functions are doing a byte swap, which seems to imply that the data
member is a native CPU endian u32 that needs to be converted to
little-endian. Sounds like BCM_TCS_CMD() should just pack things into a
u32 and we can simply remove the cpu_to_l32() stuff in the macro?
