The register abstraction has wrappers around both the normal writel() and its writel_relaxed() counterpart, but this has led to a lot of users ending up with the relaxed version. There is sometimes a need to intentionally pick the relaxed accessor for performance critical functions, but I noticed that each hantro_reg_write() call also contains a non-relaxed readl(), which is typically much more expensive than a writel, so there is little benefit here but an added risk of missing a serialization against DMA. To make this behave like other interfaces, use the normal accessor by default and only provide the relaxed version as an alternative for performance critical code. hantro_postproc.c is the only place that used both the relaxed and normal writel, but this does not seem cricital either, so change it all to the normal ones.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
