Ah, this one is probably not OK, i40iw_cq_request_notification is
called here:

	spin_lock_irqsave(&iwcq->lock, flags);
	ukcq->ops.iw_cq_request_notification(ukcq, cq_notify);
	spin_unlock_irqrestore(&iwcq->lock, flags);

So this needs to add mmmiomb(); to keep the same semantics.

Generally I think you need to be very careful to ensure that any
conversion to _relaxed isn't contained by a spinlock, or the mmiomb()
is present.

Maybe even do a first series with this obviously correct pattern:

 wmb();
 writel() -> writel_relaxed()
 writel() -> writel_relaxed()
 [..]
 mmiowmb();
