Those barriers will disappear if CONFIG_ARM_DMA_MEM_BUFFERABLE is set to
N, so that's probably not the right thing to do in this case. The barrier
here isn't DMA-related, it's needed due to the design of the driver.
Good point.
In fact the wmb() is probably overkill, since only a compiler reordering
barrier is needed. It can probably just be barrier().
I agree. Just barrier() is enough to avoid compiler re-ordering.
