cword.l is an unsigned long int, but it is intended to be 32 bits long.

Unfortunately, it's 64-bits long on a 64-bit system, meaning that a
64-bit system cannot use 32-bit wide CFI flash parts.

Similar problems also exist with the other cword sizes.

Also, this patch introduced compiler warnings:

drivers/mtd/cfi_flash.c: In function 'flash_write_cmd':
drivers/mtd/cfi_flash.c:348:3: warning: format '%lx' expects argument of
type 'long unsigned int', but argument 4 has type '__u32' [-Wformat=]
   debug ("fwc addr %p cmd %x %8.8lx 32bit x %d bit\n", addr,
   ^
drivers/mtd/cfi_flash.c: In function 'flash_isequal':
drivers/mtd/cfi_flash.c:404:3: warning: format '%lx' expects argument of
type 'long unsigned int', but argument 3 has type '__u32' [-Wformat=]
   debug ("is= %8.8x %8.8lx\n", flash_read32(addr), cword.l);
   ^

I masked these warnings in this patch, however, I am quite sure this is
the wrong approach.

Why do you think this is the wrong approach? Changing from "long" to
"u32" seems correct to me.

Please use the "uX" types and not the "__uX" types here. Those are
already widely used in this header.

That comment was more referring to the change from %lx to %x because I
moved from "unsigned long" to "u32".

> Changing from "long" to

Ok, good.

Perhaps also the "c", "w", "l" and "ll" in "cword" should be renamed
to "u8", "u16", "u32" and "u64"?  We aren't actually looking for a
"char" in this file, but an 8 bit value, for example.

Yes, I'll make that change for v2.

Looks okay to me. Please make sure that you don't see any warning
when compiling this new code for 32bit and 64bit platforms.

Correct. But I suspect that u8 etc will not be possible as variable
names. As they are already taken. The current names are not perfect
but still not that bad. Feel free to come up with some better names
that match the meaning of the variables more closely in v2...

Thanks. You can add my:

Good point, I haven't built for a 32bit platform with this patch.

Yeah, I just noticed that problem too.  I'll think of an appropriate
new name.  For now, I've just used w8, w16, w32 and w64, meaning
"width 8", etc., but that might not be very clear either.

I'm actually liking the "w" names now.  Let me know if it doesn't suit.

Now for a separate but related issue, so I thought I'd ask about it
here.  Looking through the code to make this rename, I noticed a few
u32 pointers, eg:

1056:            u32 *flash;
1063:            flash = (u32 *)info->start[sect];
1145:    u32 *flash;
1151:    flash = (u32 *)info->start[i];

Perhaps I'm lucky that my flash part lives in the 32-bit address
range, but I think this may need fixing too - with a separate patch.
That took me to looking at the definition of flash_info_t in
include/flash.h and I see there are quite a few "uchar", "ushort" and
"ulong"s in there.  Do you think these will need changing too?

I'm fine with the "w" names.

The cfi flash driver unfortunately has not seem much "love" in the last
few years. As parallel NOR flash devices are used rarely nowadays. So
you will most likely find many places that could use some cleanup /
fixes. And yes, some "ulong"s might cause problems on the new 64bit
systems. I really appreciate it that you take a look at this.

Thanks,
Stefan
