[PATCH v5 03/11] scsi: ufs: qcom: Remove unnecessary mb() after writing testbus config

From: Andrew Halaney
Date: Fri Mar 29 2024 - 16:49:29 EST


Currently, the testbus configuration is written and completed with an
mb().

mb() ensure that the write completes, 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:

But, there's really no reason to even ensure completion before
continuing. The only requirement here is that this write is ordered to
this endpoint (which readl()/writel() guarantees already). For that
reason the mb() can be dropped altogether without anything forcing
completion.
