[PATCH 2/2] net: pxa168_eth: Use dma_wmb/rmb where appropriate

From: Jisheng Zhang
Date: Fri May 13 2016 - 08:02:33 EST


Update the pxa168_eth driver to use the dma_rmb/wmb calls instead of the
full barriers in order to improve performance: reduced 97ns/39ns on
average in tx/rx path on Marvell BG4CT platform.
