As I mentioned on v2, that would be the literal translation, however 
there's no concurrency since this is happening under a mutex, so there's 
no other agent against whose accesses loads would need to be 
synchronised, therefore the only logical reason those DSBs were ever 
there at all must be to ensure that the prior store(s) have been issued 
to their destination before proceeding. The history implies that this 
dates all the way back to RK3288, where Armv7's argument-less DSB lacked 
that distinction anyway.
