Currently, the UIC_COMMAND_COMPL interrupt is disabled and a wmb() is
used to complete the register write before any following writes.

wmb() ensures the writes complete in that order, but completion doesn't
mean that it isn't stored in a buffer somewhere. The recommendation for
ensuring this bit has taken effect on the device is to perform a read
back to force it to make it all the way to the device. This is
documented in device-io.rst and a talk by Will Deacon on this can
be seen over here:

https://youtu.be/i6DayghhA8Q?si=MiyxB5cKJXSaoc01&t=1678

Let's do that to ensure the bit hits the device. Because the wmb()'s
purpose wasn't to add extra ordering (on top of the ordering guaranteed
by writel()/readl()), it can safely be removed.
