[PATCH v2] irqchip/irq-brcmstb-l2: add write memory barrier before exit

[Florian Fainelli <florian.fainelli@broadcom.com>]

From: Doug Berger <opendmb@gmail.com>

It was observed on Broadcom devices that use GIC v3 architecture
L1 interrupt controllers as the parent of brcmstb-l2 interrupt
controllers that the deactivation of the parent irq could happen
before the brcmstb-l2 deasserted its output. This would lead the
GIC to reactivate the irq only to find that no L2 interrupt was
pending. The result was a spurious interrupt invoking the
handle_bad_irq() with its associated messaging. While this did
not create a functional problem it is a waste of cycles.

The hazard exists because the memory mapped bus writes to the
brcmstb-l2 registers are buffered and the GIC v3 architecture
uses a very efficient system register write to deactivate the
interrupt. This commit adds a write memory barrier prior to
invoking chained_irq_exit() to introduce a dsb(st) on those
systems to ensure the system register write cannot be executed
until the memory mapped writes are visible to the system.
