Hi Shubhrajyoti,

Initially I sent the patches with writeq() ,lo_hi_writeq()  later we decided to replace with write_fun().
The reason for this is lo_hi_writeq() always assumes a little-endian register, so it's broken if anyone builds this device with big-endian registers.
So replaced the 64bit calls with write_fun() as suggested by Arnd Bergmann. Hope it clears your query.
Please refer to the below thread
