The code to read from the master read fifo, and write to the master write fifo, checks a bit in an SCB register before every byte to ensure that the fifo is not full (write fifo) or empty (read fifo). Due to clock domain crossing inside the SCB block the updated value of this bit is only visible after 2 cycles. The scb_wr_rd_fence() function does 2 dummy writes (to the read-only revision register), and it's called before reading from or writing to the fifos to ensure that subsequent reads of the fifo status bits do not read stale values. As the 2 dummy writes are required in all versions of the ip, the version check is dropped.
