Subject: [PATCH v5 06/11] scsi: ufs: cdns-pltfrm: Perform read back after
 writing HCLKDIV

Currently, HCLKDIV is written to and then completed with an mb().

mb() ensure that the write completes, but completion doesn't mean that
it isn't stored in a buffer somewhere. The recommendation for
ensuring this bit has 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 the bit hits 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.
