From: Brett Creeley <brett.creeley@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 809f23c0423a43266e47a7dc67e95b5cb4d1cbfc ] The underlying hardware may or may not allow reading of the head or tail registers and it really makes no difference if we use the software cached values. So, always used the software cached values.
