In previous kernels, there were conflicting definitions for what ioread64_lo_hi() and similar functions were supposed to do on architectures with native 64-bit MMIO. Based on the actual usage in drivers, they are in fact expected to be a pair of 32-bit accesses on all architectures, which makes the powerpc64 definition wrong. Remove it and use the generic implementation instead. Drivers that want to have split lo/hi or hi/lo accesses on 32-bit architectures but can use 64-bit accesses where supported should instead use ioread64()/iowrite64() after including the corresponding header file.

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 reStructuredText 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.
