fwiw, I would argue that the posting read in _get() is superfluous as we
will serialise the fw with not only the ack, but any subsequent mmio.

On the _put() side we do want to flush the write so that the hw can
power down as early as possible. So just kill the posting read from _get
and otherwise drop the patch. :)
