It looks like this last writel_relaxed() starts the DMA, but I don't
see any barrier that serializes it against the memory access, which
could still be in a store buffer.

You're right this one restarts a DMA, so yeah it should not have the relaxed accessor.

But the one starting the first DMA is in another place and aswell should not use relaxed.

Same here in the interrupt controller, I don't see anything enforcing
the DMA to actually complete before the readl_relaxed().

I don't see the relathionship between a register relaxed read and the DMA not finishing
writing the data in uncached memory, for me it's 2 unrelated things.


At the very minimum, I think these two have to use non-relaxed
accessors when adding DMA support, but an easier approach would
be to use those consistently throughout the driver.

I'll do a check of those accessors for v2.
