Please explain what the problem you are trying to fix is.

This looks very wrong. You need to make sure that a data structure
is written to RAM before you announce it to the hardware.
The code before the wmb() initializes a structure and the write
after it announces it to the hardware. This wmb() is exactly where
it needs to be.

If you need to flush something, wmb() is the wrong primitive.
It merely ensures ordering. It is not guaranteed to flush writes
to RAM.
