I thought the discussion was resolved in favor of using read/writel. Here
is the last reply from Bjorn:

"I think we came to the conclusion that writel() was better
than incorrect use of writel_relaxed() followed by wmb(). And in this
particular case it's definitely not happening in a hot code path..."

IMO, it is safer to use readl/writel calls than the relaxed variants.
And so far the un-written rule I assumed is, only consider using the
relaxed variants if the code is in hot path (but somehow I used the
relaxed version in v1 :P )

Thanks,
Mani
