Register and field widths are in the range 1..32. Storing them in the
pinctrl data in (arrays of) unsigned long wastes space.

This decreases the size of a (32-bit) shmobile_defconfig kernel
supporting 7 SoCs by 26460 bytes.

How about making reg a u32 ? It won't make a difference in practice on 32-bit 
systems, but it would be more explicit.

We could also save space by making reg a u16 and storing the register offset 
only instead of the full address (assuming it can always fit in 16 bits, which 
should be checked). We'll also need to support 64-bit systems at some point, 
and making reg a u64 would increase space waste.

That would be more intrusive (and definitely needs to be in a separate patch),
as reg is used here to store a physical register address, for conversion between
physical and virtual addresses. I didn't want to go that far yet.

u16 would indeed be nice, as it means reg, reg_width, and field_width
would fit in one 32-bit word, which I hadn't realized. That means we can reduce
each entry by 2 words instead of 1.

For 64-bit that would still be suboptimal, as pointers are aligned to 8 bytes,
leading to gaps.
Perhaps we do want __packed here, too? I don't think the performance drop of
doing some unaligned accesses would be significant. This isn't a hot path.

Unfortunately there's a (single) exception: sh7734 has two register blocks, at
0xFFFC0000 and 0xFFC40000, which is more than 64 KiB apart.
And we also can't say that all config registers are in the first
block, and all data
registers are in the second block (for SoCs with multiple blocks).

We could use u32 instead of u16 if CONFIG_PINCTRL_PFC_SH7734 is set, though.

I had a quick check, and using 16-bit register offsets instead of 32-bit
registers addresses would save ca. 3 KiB in a shmobile_defconfig kernel.
Which is a saving of less than 2% of the current pinctrl binary size.

Of course it's something to keep in mind for future 64-bit SoCs...

This 2/4 is not ACKed so pausing application after 1/4.

Is 3,4/4 independent of this patch?

Or drop arch/sh support ;-)

Let's do that for now then, just keep it in mind.

I intended to, with "reg is used here to store a physical register address",
but probably didn't make it sufficiently clear. Before the advent of PAE and
phys_addr_t, unsigned long was used to store physical addresses.

We could indeed use u32, as the PFC regs are (currently) inside the 32-bit
part of the address space.

Unfortunately not, as there are contextual dependencies.

Laurent: Is 2/4 OK for you as-is? Your comments about the size of reg are
not related to "Store register/field widths in u8 instead of unsigned long",
and thus an area for future improvement.

Sounds good with me. If you want to make that change as a separate patch,

As just stated in a different reply to this patch, if you change reg to a u32 
in a separate patch (maybe as a v2 of 3/4 ?),
