won't it actually be better to implement it like this:
(assuming len is always multiply of 4 - which I think it must be since access must be 4 aligned)

void __iomem *to = obj->share_buf;

if (len % 8 != 0) {
memcpy_toio(to, buf, len - 4);
to += len - 4;
buf += len - 4;
writel_relaxed(*(u32 *)buf, to);
} else {
memcpy_toio(obj->share_buf, buf, len);
}
Thanks,
