FWIW, I have just been bitten by this issue. I needed to enable an SMMU to
filter PCIe EP accesses to system RAM (or something). I'm using an APQ8098
MEDIABOX dev board. My system hangs in arm_smmu_device_reset() doing:

	/* Invalidate the TLB, just in case */
	writel_relaxed(0, gr0_base + ARM_SMMU_GR0_TLBIALLH);
	writel_relaxed(0, gr0_base + ARM_SMMU_GR0_TLBIALLNSNH);


With the 'Z' constraint, gcc generates:

	str wzr, [x0]

without the 'Z' constraint, gcc generates:

	mov	w1, 0
	str w1, [x0]


I can work around the problem using the following patch:

Can a quirk be used to work around the issue?
Or can we just "pessimize" the 3 writes for everybody?
(Might be cheaper than a test anyway)

Regards.
