Subject: [PATCH V2 net-next 5/6] net: hns3: use writel() to optimize the barrier operation

From: Yunsheng Lin <linyunsheng@...wei.com>

writel() can be used to order I/O vs memory by default when
writing portable drivers. Use writel() to replace wmb() +
writel_relaxed(), and writel() is dma_wmb() + writel_relaxed()
for ARM64, so there is an optimization here because dma_wmb()
is a lighter barrier than wmb().
