Subject: [PATCH RFC v4 08/11] scsi: ufs: core: Perform read back after
 disabling interrupts

Currently, interrupts are cleared and disabled prior to registering the
interrupt. An mb() is used to complete the clear/disable writes before
the interrupt is registered.

mb() ensure that the write completes, but completion doesn't mean that
it isn't stored in a buffer somewhere. The recommendation for
ensuring these bits have taken effect on the device is to perform a read
back to force it to make it all the way to the device. This is
documented in device-io.rst and a talk by Will Deacon on this can
be seen over here:

    https://youtu.be/i6DayghhA8Q?si=MiyxB5cKJXSaoc01&t=1678

Let's do that to ensure these bits hit the device. Because the mb()'s
purpose wasn't to add extra ordering (on top of the ordering guaranteed
by writel()/readl()), it can safely be removed.
