SubjectRe: linux-next: build failure after merge of the spi tree
Hello Stephen

The root of the issue is that iowrite/ioread behaves differently in
different arches.

1) It does not necesary need to be a symbol in all the arches. It can
be declared as a function macro:

#define iowrite32(a,b) iowrite32(a,b)

2) Sometimes, even the function has a different prototype.

include/asm-generic/iomap.h
extern unsigned int ioread16be(void __iomem *);

include/asm-generic/io.h
extern unsigned int ioread16be(void __iomem *);

Since the patch that you have reverted was only to clean the code it
is perfectly fine to revert it.

Sorry for the mess, I did only tried to build it on the platforms that
I had available and I could have never guess that iowrite32 was
implemented differently on other arches.

Thanks!
