From: "Lad, Prabhakar" <prabhakar.csengg@gmail.com> This patch replaces the __raw_readl/writel with readl and writel, Altough the code runs on ARMv5 based SOCs, changing this will help copying the code for other uses.This replacement has a functional impact: it adds memory barriers. Please note this in the description. Also please add a bit of explanation on why do you need to add barriers.
Agreed this adds memory barriers, I'll add a note about it. Thanks, --Prabhakar Lad
