Hi Christoph,
Thanks for spinning this into a patch.

Mind if I tweak the second sentence to be:
This is different from "Device-nGnR[nE]" memory which is intended for MMIO
and thus forbids speculation, preserves access size, requires strict
alignment and can also force write responses to come from the endpoint.
? It's a small change, but it better fits with the arm64 terminology
("strongly ordered" is no longer used in the architecture).
If you're happy with that, I can make the change and queue this patch
for 5.4.
Thanks,
Will
