Subject: [PATCH v4 13/17] net: cxgb3: Eliminate duplicate barriers on weakly-ordered archs

From: Sinan Kaya <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 19 Mar 2018 22:42:28 -0400

Code includes wmb() followed by writel(). writel() already has a barrier on
some architectures like arm64.

This ends up CPU observing two barriers back to back before executing the
register write.

Create a new wrapper function with relaxed write operator. Use the new
wrapper when a write is following a wmb().
