[ARM] OMAP2/3 clock: convert remaining MPU barriers into OCP barriers
Several parts of the OMAP2/3 clock code use wmb() to try to ensure that the hardware write completes before continuing. This approach is problematic: wmb() only ensures that the write leaves the ARM. It does not ensure that the write actually reaches the endpoint device. The endpoint device in this case - either the PRM, CM, or SCM - is three interconnects away from the ARM - and the final interconnect is low-speed. And the OCP interconnects will post the write, and who knows how long that will take to complete. So the wmb() is not what we want. Worse, the wmb() is indiscriminate; it causes the ARM to flush any other unrelated buffered writes and wait for the local interconnect to acknowledge them - potentially very expensive. Fix this by converting the wmb()s into readbacks of the same PRM/CM/SCM register. Since the PRM/CM/SCM devices use a single OCP thread, this will cause the MPU to block while waiting for posted writes to that device to complete. linux-omap source commit is 260f5487848681b4d8ea7430a709a601bbcb21d1.
