Yes, see above. When I was debugging U-Boot on the MIN2416 I saw this over-optimization situation in the serial driver I just noticed that all those uart-something in your serial driver are actually register accesses. So that's flat wrong, use writel()/readl() etc accessors. Of course doing it like you do without memory barriers will make it go south. so I added the volatile attribute to all structs that map the SoC registers. But, after you pointed to me that the I/O macros have already incorporated the proper barriers, I looked again to the serial driver source and noticed that I forgot to use that macros on register accesses!
