The current mipi_dsi_*_write_seq() macros are non-intutitive because they contain a hidden "return" statement that will return out of the _caller_ of the macro. Let's mark them as deprecated and instead introduce some new macros that are more intuitive. These new macros are less optimal when an error occurs but should behave more optimally when there is no error. Specifically these new macros cause smaller code to get generated and the code size savings (less to fetch from RAM, less cache space used, less RAM used) are important. Since the error case isn't something we need to optimize for and these new macros are easier to understand and more flexible, they should be used. After converting to use these new functions, one example shows some nice savings while also being easier to understand. $ scripts/bloat-o-meter \ ...after/panel-novatek-nt36672e.ko \ ...ctx/panel-novatek-nt36672e.ko add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/1 up/down: 0/-988 (-988) Function old new delta nt36672e_1080x2408_60hz_init 6236 5248 -988 Total: Before=10651, After=9663, chg -9.28% Reviewed-by: Neil Armstrong <neil.armstrong@linaro.org> Reviewed-by: Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Douglas Anderson <dianders@chromium.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240514102056.v5.5.Ie94246c30fe95101e0e26dd5f96e976dbeb8f242@changeid Signed-off-by: Neil Armstrong <neil.armstrong@linaro.org> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20240514102056.v5.5.Ie94246c30fe95101e0e26dd5f96e976dbeb8f242@changeid |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
