Writing the command is the final step in kicking off a transfer. Let's use writel() to ensure that any other memory accesses are done before the command kicks off. It's expected that this is mostly relevant if we're in DMA mode but since it doesn't appear to regress performance in a measurable way [1] even in PIO mode and it's easier to reason about then let's just always use it. NOTE: this patch came about due to code inspection. No actual problems were observed that this patch fixes. [1] Tested by timing "flashrom -p ec" on a Chromebook which stresses GENI SPI a lot.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
