Looks like it might. I'm not sure the original submitter can retest
right now (travel), so I'd probably rather just take the easy fix for
now, and we can widen to COMPILE_TEST later if desired.

If I could get an ack on something like this, I'll apply it soon:

Subject: [PATCH] mtd: spi-nor: don't build Cadence QuadSPI on non-ARM

This controller driver is used only on ARM but is mostly written
portably so it can build on other arch'es. Unfortunately, at least x86
doesn't provibe readsl()/writesl() accessors. We could possibly fix this
issue in the future by using io{read,write}32_rep() instead, but let's
just drop the architectures we aren't using for now.

Isn't there a generic readsl() and writesl() implementation in
include/asm-generic/io.h ?

This is fine, I am making a note to revisit this.

Yes, but somehow x86 has managed to avoid that. I guess it's optional
for arch/<foo>/include/asm/io.h to include <asm-generic/io.h>? At any
rate, I double-checked myself by adding '#error "blah"' to
include/asm-generic/io.h, and x86 still seemed to build fine (at least
for the modules I was checking, like cadence-quadspi.o).

Cool. In that case...

Yep, I just checked the same and it's not included from
arch/x86/include/asm/io.h for whatever reason. Maybe this needs to be
fixed on x86 level?

Maybe. That's why I added the x86 maintainers. Maybe they'd respond
better^Wmore loudly if I just sent a patch to do that :)

But seriously, doing the above really breaks things, even if I stick the
include at the end of asm/io.h. There's plenty of stuff that the
asm-generic version includes based on #ifndef some_accessor, except x86
uses a static inline for their definition. So it seems it's not trivial
to get an architecture to fall back gracefully to asm-generic; you have
to put in some work. It also may not be all that desirable to have some
allegedly generic version generate something that may not be safe on a
given architecture (and I don't purport to understand the x86 memory
model).

Additionally, it looks like asm-generic/io.h is actually only included
in 14 of 33 arch'es, so it seems like that's really not a designated
goal. It does make it awfully difficult to figure out what I/O accessors
are *actually* portable though...

Ouch :-( Maybe this is an opportunity for cleanup then ?

I think disabling the compile test for now is good, but we should
revisit this once I'm back and capable of digging in properly. Thus
far, I am mostly handling my mails on the bullet trains (which are
awesome here in Japan, I tell you that ;-) ), so I'm really not able
to give this as much attention as it requires.
