Subject[PATCH] arm64/io: Remind compiler that there is a memory side effect
Date
The relaxed variants of read/write macros are only declared
as `asm volatile()` which forces the compiler to generate the
instruction in the code path as intended. The only problem
is that it doesn't also tell the compiler that there may
be memory side effects. Meaning that if a function is comprised
entirely of relaxed io operations, the compiler may think that
it only has register side effects and doesn't need to be called.

For an example function look at bcmgenet_enable_dma(), before the
relaxed variants were removed. When built with gcc12 the code
contains the asm blocks as expected, but then the function is
never called.
