[PATCH RFC v4 00/11] scsi: ufs: Remove overzealous memory barriers

[Andrew Halaney <ahalaney@redhat.com>]

This is an RFC because I'm not all the confident in this topic. UFS has
a lot of mb() variants used, most with comments saying "ensure this
takes effect before continuing". mb()'s aren't really the way to
guarantee that, a read back is the best method.

Some of these though I think could go a step further and remove the mb()
variant without a read back. As far as I can tell there's no real reason
to ensure it takes effect in most cases (there's no delay() or anything
afterwards, and eventually another readl()/writel() happens which is by
definition ordered). Some of the patches in this series do that if I was
confident it was safe (or a reviewer pointed out prior that they thought
it was safe to do so).

Thanks in advance for the help,
Andrew

Changes in v4:
- Collected Reviewed-by tags
- Changed patches 3, 4, 10, and 11 to drop the read back && mb():
    - Please note all of those patches got reviewed-by tags by either
      Can, Mani, or Bart, but one of the three pointed out that they
      thought it could be dropped altogether (some of Mani's comments
      are on my foobar'ed v2). After some consideration I
      agree. Therefore I'd appreciate re-review on those patches by
      you three to make sure that's appropriate
