readl/writel is too expensive especially on Cortex A9 w/ outer L2 cache. This introduces i2c read/write errors on Marvell BG2/BG2Q SoCs when there are heavy L2 cache maintenance operations at the same time. The driver does not perform DMA, so it's safe to use the relaxed version. >From another side, the relaxed io accessor macros are available on all architectures now, so we can use the relaxed versions instead.
