Subject: [PATCH] x86/apic: Ensure ICR register write value is handled as 32 bits
Date: Wed, 8 Jul 2026 01:21:17 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260708012117.177959-1-huibo.wang@amd.com> (raw)

The low 32-bit ICR data is prepared by __prepare_ICR(), which returns
a 32-bit value. However, when this value is assigned to a new variable,
it's easy to mistakenly declare that variable with a different width.

To avoid this class of mistakes, use __prepare_ICR() directly as the
function argument instead of storing its result in an intermediate
variable. This also shaves off a bunch of lines in the code.

There should be no functionality change resulting from this patch.
