Thank you.

I'm not really sure but I also think the sparc-stuff is broken.

+extern __inline__ void writel_na(unsigned int b, unsigned long addr)
+{
+        *(volatile unsigned long*)addr = b;
                             ^^^^
+}

I would _heavily_ suggest to use '*(volatile unsigned int*)addr = b;'


BTW: I still have not applied your patch because of visual rejects.
