Valid point about optimizing the common path. But since the underlying
.pointer op was changed in the patch V3 to always return a 64-bit
snd_compr_tstamp64, there is no longer a "native" 32-bit path to fetch.
Any call to the legacy SNDRV_COMPRESS_TSTAMP ioctl must fetch the 64-bit
value and then truncate it down. The current patch reflects this by sharing the
common 64-bit fetch and then conditionally performing the truncation to 32-bit.
Splitting the function would result in two functions that both call
snd_compr_update_tstamp() to get the 64-bit data, so there would be code
duplication with no performance gain.
Thanks,
George
