Subject: [PATCH 4.0 087/105] bus: mvebu-mbus: do not set WIN_CTRL_SYNCBARRIER on non io-coherent platforms.

4.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Nicolas Schichan <nschichan@...ebox.fr>

commit 8c9e06e64768665503e778088a39ecff3a6f2e0c upstream.

Commit a0b5cd4ac2d6 ("bus: mvebu-mbus: use automatic I/O
synchronization barriers") enabled the usage of automatic I/O
synchronization barriers by enabling bit WIN_CTRL_SYNCBARRIER in the
control registers of MBus windows, but on non io-coherent platforms
(orion5x, kirkwood and dove) the WIN_CTRL_SYNCBARRIER bit in
the window control register is either reserved (all windows except 6
and 7) or enables read-only protection (windows 6 and 7).
