The pci-epf-test driver uses the test register bar memory directly
to get and execute a test registers set by the RC side and defined
using a struct pci_epf_test_reg. This direct use relies on a casts of
the register bar to get a pointer to a struct pci_epf_test_reg to
execute the test case and sending back the test result through the
status field of struct pci_epf_test_reg. In practice, the status field
is always updated before an interrupt is raised in
pci_epf_test_raise_irq(), to ensure that the RC side sees the updated
status when receiving the interrupts.
However, such cast-based direct access does not ensure that changes to
the status register make it to memory, and so visible to the host,
before an interrupt is raised, thus potentially resulting in the RC host
not seeing the correct status result for a test.
Avoid this potential problem by using READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() when
accessing the command and status fields of a pci_epf_test_reg structure.
This ensure that a test start (pci_epf_test_cmd_handler() function) and
completion (with the function pci_epf_test_raise_irq()) achive a correct
synchronization with the host side mmio register accesses.
