a904f5f9eb ARM: 6870/1: The mandatory barrier rmb() must be a dsb() in for device accesses
Since mandatory barriers may be used (explicitly or implicitly via readl
etc.) to ensure the ordering between Device and Normal memory accesses,
a DMB is not enough. This patch converts it to a DSB.

2503a5ecd8 ARM: 6201/1: RealView: Do not use outer_sync() on ARM11MPCore boards with L220
RealView boards with certain revisions of the L220 cache controller (ARM11*
processors only) may have issues (hardware deadlock) with the recent changes to
the mb() barrier implementation (DSB followed by an L2 cache sync). The patch
redefines the RealView ARM11MPCore mandatory barriers without the outer_sync()
call.
