No - const is not appropriate for the write accessors. Again, this puts
us at odds with x86:
#define build_mmio_write(name, size, type, reg, barrier) \
static inline void name(type val, volatile void __iomem *addr) \
{ asm volatile("mov" size " %0,%1": :reg (val), \
"m" (*(volatile type __force *)addr) barrier); }
build_mmio_write(writeb, "b", unsigned char, "q", :"memory")
build_mmio_write(writew, "w", unsigned short, "r", :"memory")
build_mmio_write(writel, "l", unsigned int, "r", :"memory")
So, readl etc are all const volatile void __iomem *, but writel etc are
all volatile void __iomem *.
How they're defined on ARM after 7500/1 copies how they're defined on
x86.
