OK. Thanks for explanation.

The IO mapped memory is strongly-ordered on ARM, hence all readl/writel
accesses are guaranteed to be ordered by default. I think wmb() here is just a
cut-n-pasted relic from old downstream driver.

Yes, the result is the same. The wmb() is not just about IO accesses, but about
all kind of memory accesses and at least on Tegra30 it is quite expensive
operation because it translates into L2XO cache syncing (arm_heavy_mb) + dsb().
It should be more efficient to flush out writes with a read-back and then wait
for that read operation to be completed.

I think that this meaning of actmon_write_barrier() keeps
the order of 'store' assembly command without the execution change
from compiler optimization by using the wmb().
But, this patch edits it as following:
The result of the following two cases are same?
[original code]
wmb()
read_relaxed()
[new code by this patch]
readl_relaxed()
rmb()

[PATCH v2 05/19] PM / devfreq: tegra: Replace write memory barrier with the read barrier
The write memory barrier isn't needed because the BUS buffer is flushed
by read after write that happens after the removed wmb(), we will also
use readl() instead of the relaxed version to ensure that read is indeed
completed.
