[U-Boot] [PATCH] [v2] powerpc: fix implementation of out_8 to match the other out_XX functions

For some reason, the implementation of out_8() does not match the other
output accessors, nor does it match equivalent Linux accessor.  This can
cause a problem in a situation like this:

	__raw_readb(p1);
	out_8(p2, x);

In this case, there is no barrier between the read and the write.
If the out_8() is changed to out_be16(), then there is a barrier.
