This is an RFC because I'm not all the confident in this topic. UFS has a lot of mb() variants used, most with comments saying "ensure this takes effect before continuing". mb()'s aren't really the way to guarantee that, a read back is the best method. Some of these though I think could go a step further and remove the mb() variant without a read back. As far as I can tell there's no real reason to ensure it takes effect in most cases (there's no delay() or anything afterwards, and eventually another readl()/writel() happens which is by definition ordered). In this current series I don't do that as I wasn't totally convinced, but it should be considered when reviewing. Hopefully this series gets enough interest where we can confidently merge the final result after review helps improve it. I'll be travelling a good bit the next 2ish weeks, so expect little response until my return.
