I downloaded the vanilla version of my custom kernel: linux-3.4.39.tar.xz

Even then, NEED_WRITEL_RELAXED is incorrectly defined.

How do you propose to fix this bug?

$ grep writel_relaxed arch/arm/include/asm/io.h
#define writel_relaxed(v,c)	((void)__raw_writel((__force u32) \
#define writel(v,c)		({ __iowmb(); writel_relaxed(v,c); })

$ grep writel_relaxed arch/x86/include/asm/io.h
$ grep -r writel_relaxed include

I will keep trying to get something to compile.
