[U-Boot] [PATCH] ARM: fix write*() I/O accessors

Commit 3c0659b "ARM: Avoid compiler optimization for readb, writeb
and friends." introduced I/O accessors with memory barriers.
Unfortunately the new write*() accessors introduced a bug:

The problem is that the argument "v" gets evaluated twice.  This
breaks code like used here (from "drivers/net/dnet.c"):

	for (i = 0; i < wrsz; i++)
		writel(*bufp++, &dnet->regs->TX_DATA_FIFO);

Use auxiliary variables to avoid such problems.

This patch fixes a pretty nasty problem.  Everybody who has
experienced strange failures on ARM lately should apply it ASAP and
re-test.  As far as I can tell at least the following drivers are
affected:

drivers/net/dnet.c:		writel(*bufp++, &dnet->regs->TX_DATA_FIFO);
drivers/usb/musb/musb_core.c:	writeb(*data++, &musbr->fifox[ep]);
drivers/mmc/pxa_mmc.c:		writel(*src++, MMC_TXFIFO);
drivers/mmc/mxcmmc.c:		writel(*buf++, &host->base->buffer_access);
drivers/spi/davinci_spi.c:	writel(data1_reg_val | *txp++, &ds->regs->dat1);

Albert, please apply ASAP!
