Yes. I'll send with __iowmb() instead of wmb().

It was so in v1. But it was decided to use explicit memory barriers,
because we're always sure the memory barriers are there and that
they're properly documented. Also in this case I don't need to add
keystone readl/writel relaxed function variants and to use mixed calls of
writel/writel_relaxed functions.

See:

Fair enough, but we want a proper explanation for explicit barriers in
the code and not in some random discussion of patch version X on some
random mailing list.

Aside of that it should be iowmb(), but I might miss something ...

Agree. __iowmb() seems to be more appropriate.
