[PATCH 12/16] staging: vchiq_util: get rid of unneeded memory barriers

From: Nicolas Saenz Julienne
Date: Wed Nov 14 2018 - 08:01:14 EST


All the memory operations featured in this file modify/access memory
that is only accessed by the CPU. So we can assume that all the memory
barrier handling done by the completion routines is good enough for us.
