If that's the case the code is really rather unclear about what it's doing - the use of "reg" for what's being written doesn't help, nor does the fact that what looks like a cache is being kept. The code should either use regmap or make it clear why that doesn't fit well. [unhandled content-type:application/pgp-signature] | |
