Actually that comment as well as the name "writeback" is a bit outdated.

IIRC we also use the 32bit and 64bit addresses allocated with 
amdgpu_wb_get for the wptr polling addresses.

In other words the GPU polls from the address and the CPU writes to them.

I wouldn't change the name, but noting that in the comment might be a 
good idea.

Anyway the patch is Reviewed-by: Christian König <christian.koenig at amd.com>.
