In current kernel wide source, for arm, only s390 scsi drivers use
atomic_clear_mask(), now, s390 itself need use 'unsigned int' and
'atomic_t', so need match s390's atomic_clear_mask().

I reckon this should be int (the mask parameter is unsigned, but
atomic_t.counter is signed).

This is now identical to asm-generic/atomic.h. I wonder whether we could
just #include that file for the ARMv6 case? You'd need to check the
differences carefully.

Finally, I still question the need for the clear_mask function anyway. We
don't implement set_mask, and these functions are only used by either other
arch code or in drivers that don't work on ARM anyway.

For 'ldrex' and 'strex' (loading/storing instruction), it is really
better to match 'atomic_t.counter', but for 'bic' (operating
instruction), it is better to match 'mask'.

In my opinion, for signed/unsigned, 'operating' has higher priority than
'loading/storing' (especially for *mask functions, by default, suggest
using unsigned).

Commonly, for loading/storing (e.g. 'ldrex', 'strex'), must be sure of
bits wide (signed/unsigned will not cause real issues), but for
operating, signed/unsigned may cause real issues.

If most of functions for ARMv6 case can use "asm-generic/atomic.h", your
idea sounds good to me, although we don't need 'atomic_set_mask' (it is
inconsistent with 'atomic_clear_mask' in "asm-generic/atomic.h").

Hmm... can we remove atomic_*_mask() for both arm and arm64?

It seems before get a conclusion, it is necessary to let arm and arm64
pass 'allmodconfig' firstly (and then try to remove these functions to
see the compiling result).

I will/should try 'allmodconfig' for them, but excuse me, it needs
waiting (I am just trying 'arc' architecture with 'allmodconfig', and
already delayed, because I have no enough time resources on it :-( ).
