I used this approach just to be aligned with current codebase:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/net/ethernet/mediatek/mtk_eth_soc.c#L1006
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/net/ethernet/mediatek/mtk_eth_soc.c#L1031
but I guess we can even convert the code to use barrier instead. Agree?
