[PATCH review for 3.18 02/14] watchdog: kempld: fix gcc-4.3 build

Show all headers | View raw

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

[ Upstream commit 3736d4eb6af37492aeded7fec0072dedd959c842 ]

gcc-4.3 can't decide whether the constant value in
kempld_prescaler[PRESCALER_21] is built-time constant or
not, and gets confused by the logic in do_div():

drivers/watchdog/kempld_wdt.o: In function `kempld_wdt_set_stage_timeout':
kempld_wdt.c:(.text.kempld_wdt_set_stage_timeout+0x130): undefined reference to `__aeabi_uldivmod'

This adds a call to ACCESS_ONCE() to force it to not consider
it to be constant, and leaves the more efficient normal case
in place for modern compilers, using an #ifdef to annotate
why we do this hack.
