[vox-tech] appropriate variable size in driver

[Eric Nelson]

I am porting a driver from an 8 bit processer to a linux driver.  Many=20
counters and other variables are unsigned char, because they don't=20
get big, do it works, kind of the embedded thing to do - keep small. =20
The target is a 32 bit geode.  It seems like I should generalize=20
these variables to 16 bit or 32 bit.  What works better?  What is=20
more 'appropriate'.  It seems kind of old fashioned to leave them at=20
8 bit.
