I don't think so - if you sync after setting the value then
you are guaranteed that any handler running afterwards
will see the new value.

Although I couldn't find anything about this in memory-barriers.txt
which surprises me.

CC Paul to help make sure I'm right.

This is only for config interrupt.

You are right. So then
1. I do not think we need load_acquire - why is it needed? Just
   READ_ONCE should do.
2. isn't synchronize_irq also doing the same thing?

But synchronize is only on tear-down path. That is not critical for any
users at the moment, even less than probe.

The risk if there's a driver adding buffers without setting DRIVER_OK.
So with this approach, how about we rename the flag "driver_ok"?
And then add_buf can actually test it and BUG_ON if not there  (at least
in the debug build).

And going down from there, how about we cache status in the
device? Then we don't need to keep re-reading it every time,
speeding boot up a tiny bit.
