Good catch. I changed it as follows:

+++ b/drivers/infiniband/hw/i40iw/i40iw_uk.c
@@ -723,7 +723,8 @@ static void i40iw_cq_request_notification(struct i40iw_cq_uk *cq,

        wmb(); /* make sure WQE is populated before valid bit is set */

-       writel(cq->cq_id, cq->cqe_alloc_reg);
+       writel_relaxed(cq->cq_id, cq->cqe_alloc_reg);
+       mmiowb();
 }
