Yes, seems it can be removed. I didn't saw any explicit barriers in the GPIO
driver (I'm testing on bcm2835), but it seems MMIO operations on SMP archs
does contain barriers. Not sure if all do. If some do not this barrier might
be needed to ensure ISR on other CPU notice the correct mode and byte to send.
