The mb() ensures that the write has reached the device, and the device's
slave interface has acknowledged the write. On some devices this
acknowledgement of the write can be asynchronous with respect to the
device changing state in response to the write (i.e. the interrupt might
get deasserted a short time after the write completes). Typically there
is a register that should be polled to see whether the state change has
completed.

Does the acknowledgement of the write only occur once the device has
changed state? Or might it change state in the background?

Thanks,
Mark
