[PATCH 2/4] MIPS: Correct `mmiowb' barrier for `wbflush' platforms

From: Maciej W. Rozycki
Date: Sun Oct 07 2018 - 20:37:16 EST


Redefine `mmiowb' in terms of `iobarrier_w' so that it works correctly
for MIPS I platforms, which have no SYNC machine instruction and use a
call to `wbflush' instead.

This doesn't change the semantics for CONFIG_CPU_CAVIUM_OCTEON, because
`iobarrier_w' expands to `wmb', which is ultimately the same as the
current arrangement. For MIPS I platforms this not only makes any code
that would happen to use `mmiowb' build and run, but it actually
enforces the ordering required as well, as `iobarrier_w' has it already
covered with the use of `wmb'.
