I prefer this version compared to the v2. A helper routine is
unnecessary here because:
1. there are very few scenarios where we have to read back the same
register.
2. we may accidently readback a write only register.

This is unnecessary because we are polling on a register on the same port below. But I think we
can replace "wmb()" above with "mb()" to avoid reordering between read
and write IO instructions.

We need a full barrier here to avoid reordering. Also, lets add a
comment about why we are doing this odd looking sequence.
