Here, you should define a lot of the I/O accessor functions,
dereferencing a pointer
is generally not enough to guarantee an atomic MMIO operation. You need to
force the access to use the correct size to prevent the compiler from issuing
byte-sized operations when it thinks the pointer might be unaligned, and
there should be barriers that ensure a memory access is synchronized with
a DMA that might be triggered by a writel, or claimed to be completed after
a readl. Please see the risc-v header for this, it has many good explanations.
