They get this right.
Thanks for pointing me to these. I somehow thought these helpers are only available with regmap. Sending a version using readl_poll_timeout(). I know __raw_readl() is used elsewhere in the driver, but I think that should be cleaned up sometime to use readl_relaxed() at least. So not sure if there is benefit in persisting with existing accessor. Thanks, Sekhar
