readl also calls outer cache maintainance operations which are not
available
during Linux uncompression. This patch replaces readl, writel with
readl_relaxed
and writel_relaxed.

Shouldn't this be near the start of the series?

Yes.

Also, would:

"SPEAr: replace readl, writel with relaxed versions in uncompress.h

readl() and writel() calls the outer cache maintainance operations
which are not available during Linux uncompression. This patch replaces
readl() and writel() with readl_relaxed() and writel_relaxed() to avoid
the link time errors."

be a better patch description?

Obviously. Will take care of such things next time we send a patch.
