[ Upstream commit 69233bba6543a37755158ca3382765387b8078df ] This driver is mixing 8-bit and 16-bit bus accessors for reasons unknown, however the speculation is that this was some sort of attempt to support the 8-bit bus mode. As per the KS8851-16MLL documentation, all two registers accessed via the 8-bit accessors are internally 16-bit registers, so reading them using 16-bit accessors is fine. The KS_CCR read can be converted to 16-bit read outright, as it is already a concatenation of two 8-bit reads of that register. The KS_RXQCR accesses are 8-bit only, however writing the top 8 bits of the register is OK as well, since the driver caches the entire 16-bit register value anyway. Finally, the driver is not used by any hardware in the kernel right now. The only hardware available to me is one with 16-bit bus, so I have no way to test the 8-bit bus mode, however it is unlikely this ever really worked anyway. If the 8-bit bus mode is ever required, it can be easily added by adjusting the 16-bit accessors to do 2 consecutive accesses, which is how this should have been done from the beginning.

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 Restructured Text 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.
