[PATCH v2 1/3] arm: mach-k3: arm: mach-k3: Add writel_verify macro for register write verification

Add a helper macro to write and verify a 32-bit value to a memory-mapped
register. This is essential for hardware errata workarounds that require
confirmation that register writes have taken effect before proceeding with
initialization.
