Why not use loop to read all data from FIFO? I think read_reg use readb(),
suggest change to readb_relaxed(). The similar case for writeb. dma_engine
will use writel() at least once when start DMA. it should be enough for
memory barrier.
Because it move to irq handle, writex__relaxed() will help reduce some
register access time.
