[RFC] mmc: cqhci: commit descriptors before setting the doorbell

From: Faiz Abbas
Date: Mon Oct 14 2019 - 14:38:00 EST


Add a write memory barrier to make sure that descriptors are actually
written to memory before ringing the doorbell.

This patch fixes a very infrequent ADMA error (1 out of 100 times) that
I have been seeing after enabling command queuing for J721e.
Also looking at memory-barriers.txt and this commit[1],
it looks like we should be doing this before any descriptor write
followed by a doorbell ring operation. It'll be nice if someone with more
expertise in memory barriers can comment.
