It's normally device dependent whether this works or not, on 32-bit
architectures, a 64-bit access to an I/O bus tends to get split into
two 32 bit accesses and the order might not be the as what was
intended.

We have functions in include/linux/io-64-nonatomic-hi-lo.h
and include/linux/io-64-nonatomic-lo-hi.h that are meant to
do this right. Maybe the driver can be changed to use whichever
one is correct for it.
