The existing code gives an incorrect value.
The buffer pointer 'buf' was of type unsigned short *, and 'count' was a
number in bytes, so the pointer should have been cast before doing any
pointer arithmetic.

Since we know the code before it is doing as many 4-byte transfers as
possible, we just need a pointer to where it left off in the buffer, hence
zeroing out the bottom 2 bits of count for out math.

While correct, this is IMHO still difficult to understand for the casual reader.

Given the code before casts to "u32 *", and uses "count >>2", and the code
after also casts to "u32 *", what about getting rid of all casts like:

        u32 data = 0;
        u32 *buf32 = buf;

        if (is_read)
                sd_ctrl_read32_rep(host, CTL_SD_DATA_PORT, buf32,
                                   count >> 2);
        else
                sd_ctrl_write32_rep(host, CTL_SD_DATA_PORT, buf32,
                                    count >> 2);

        /* if count was multiple of 4 */
        if (!(count & 0x3))
                return;

        buf32 += count >> 2;
        count %= 4;

        if (is_read) {
                sd_ctrl_read32_rep(host, CTL_SD_DATA_PORT, &data, 1);
                memcpy(buf32, &data, count);
        } else {
                memcpy(&data, buf32, count);
                sd_ctrl_write32_rep(host, CTL_SD_DATA_PORT, &data, 1);
        }

                return;
        }

Good idea. I just tried it and it seems to work. I'll resend a patch.

GCC didn't like this line without casting buf to a u32 *. It threw an 
error, not just a warning. Go figure.


Question:
>         u32 data = 0;


Any special reason why you are initializing this to 0????


Thank you,
Chris

Sorry, the cast is indeed missing, as buf is not a void *.

I think the original code did that, too. Hmm, I got mislead by the curly braces,
there's no "0" in between them.

It's also a bit safer to not write uninitialized data to the CTL_SD_DATA_PORT
register.
