[En-Nut-Discussion] irqreg.h files duplicated

[Ernst Stippl]

Hi!

During some digging inside Nut/OS files I found that irqreg.h files have
(near) duplicates within the "nut/include/ directory structure:

D:\DRV-NUT\ethernut_4.4.0\nut>dir /s irqreg*.h
 Volume in Drive D: is DATAPART1
 Volumeserialnumber: DEA9-33E3

By "same as" I mean functionally equivalent, log/copyright comments may
differ.
By "newer as" I mean functionally extended, i.e. more definitions etc.

A "grep" shows that all ".c" files include "<dev/irqreg.h>"
And another series of greps show only dev/irqreg.h includes the
"arch/xxx/irqreg.h" files based on the CPU architecture:

D:\DRV-NUT\ETHERN~1.0\nut>grep -d+ -i+ arm/irqreg.h *.c

D:\DRV-NUT\ETHERN~1.0\nut>grep -d+ -i+ arm/irqreg.h *.h
File INCLUDE\DEV\IRQREG.H:
#include <arch/arm/irqreg.h>

D:\DRV-NUT\ETHERN~1.0\nut>grep -d+ -i+ avr/irqreg.h *.c

D:\DRV-NUT\ETHERN~1.0\nut>grep -d+ -i+ avr/irqreg.h *.h
File INCLUDE\DEV\IRQREG.H:
#include <arch/avr/irqreg.h>

D:\DRV-NUT\ETHERN~1.0\nut>grep -d+ -i+ unix/irqreg.h *.c

D:\DRV-NUT\ETHERN~1.0\nut>grep -d+ -i+ unix/irqreg.h *.h
File INCLUDE\DEV\IRQREG.H:
#include <arch/unix/irqreg.h>

D:\DRV-NUT\ETHERN~1.0\nut>grep -d+ -i+ h8300h/irqreg.h *.c

D:\DRV-NUT\ETHERN~1.0\nut>grep -d+ -i+ h8300h/irqreg.h *.h
File INCLUDE\DEV\IRQREG.H:
#include <arch/h8300h/irqreg.h>

D:\DRV-NUT\ETHERN~1.0\nut>grep -d+ -i+ m68k/irqreg.h *.c

D:\DRV-NUT\ETHERN~1.0\nut>grep -d+ -i+ m68k/irqreg.h *.h
File INCLUDE\DEV\IRQREG.H:
#include <arch/m68k/irqreg.h>

D:\DRV-NUT\ETHERN~1.0\nut>


Question: why are the irqreg_xxxxx.h versions within "\nut\include\dev"
still there? Shouldn't they get removed?
