i2c: designware: Fix corrupted memory seen in the ISR
When running on a many core ARM64 server, errors were happening in the ISR that looked like corrupted memory. These corruptions would fix themselves if small delays were inserted in the ISR. Errors reported by the driver included "i2c_designware APMC0D0F:00: i2c_dw_xfer_msg: invalid target address" and "i2c_designware APMC0D0F:00:controller timed out" during in-band IPMI SSIF stress tests. The problem was determined to be memory writes in the driver were not becoming visible to all cores when execution rapidly shifted between cores, like when a register write immediately triggers an ISR. Processors with weak memory ordering, like ARM64, make no guarantees about the order normal memory writes become globally visible, unless barrier instructions are used to control ordering. To solve this, regmap accessor functions configured by this driver were changed to use non-relaxed forms of the low-level register access functions, which include a barrier on platforms that require it. This assures memory writes before a controller register access are visible to all cores. The community concluded defaulting to correct operation outweighed defaulting to the small performance gains from using relaxed access functions. Being a low speed device added weight to this choice of default register access behavior.
