ARM: 6388/1: errata: DMB operation may be faulty
On versions of the Cortex-A9 up to and including r2p2, under rare
circumstances, a DMB instruction between 2 write operations may not
ensure the correct visibility ordering of the 2 writes.
This workaround sets a bit in the diagnostic register of the Cortex-A9,
causing the DMB instruction to behave like a DSB, which functions
correctly on the affected cores.
