SID cells are 32-bit aligned, and a multiple of 32 bits in length. The only outlier is the thermal sensor calibration data, which is 16 bits per sensor. However a whole 64 bits is allocated for this purpose, so we could consider it conforming to the rule above. Also, the register read-out method assumes native endian, unlike the direct MMIO method, which assumes big endian. Thus no endian conversion is involved. Under these assumptions, the register read-out method can be slightly optimized. Instead of reading one word then discarding 3 bytes, read the whole word directly into the buffer. However, for reads under 4 bytes or trailing bytes, we still use a scratch buffer to extract the requested bytes. We could go one step further if .word_size was 4, but changing that would affect the sysfs interface's behavior.

README
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.
