I have mixed feelings about this.

One one hand, this looks simple enough.

But on the other hand we have other users of memcpy_fromio(), including
SOF drivers, so what are the odds we have the same problems in other
places? Wouldn't it be safer to either change this function so that it's
behavior is not ambiguous or compiler-dependent, or fix the compiler?
