+Subject: [PATCH 121/454] amba_pl011: Insert mb() for correct FIFO handling
+
+The pl011 register accessor functions use the _relaxed versions of the
+standard readl() and writel() functions, meaning that there are no
+automatic memory barriers. When polling a FIFO status register to check
+for fullness, it is necessary to ensure that any outstanding writes have
+completed; otherwise the flags are effectively stale, making it possible
+that the next write is to a full FIFO.
+
