Single register writes are atomic and hence do not need to be surrounded by locking. Additionally, MMIO writes are typically posted asynchronously. Hence, there is no guarantee that these have finished by the time the spin_unlock*() call has finished. See also the nonposted-mmio property of the Open Firmware tree. See also pci_iomap().

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.
