Sorry for the late reply.

- the execution order relies on the data dependency between ldp and stp:
load "src" to "tmp0" and "tmp1", then
store "tmp0" and "tmp1" to "fun_base";
The "dmb oshst" is used to ensure that the stp instruction has been executed
before CPU checking mailbox status. Whether the execution order
cannot be guaranteed via data dependency?

- The input argument "src" is struct "struct qm_mailbox".
- Before call this funcion, the data has been byteswapped.

mailbox->w0 = cpu_to_le16((cmd) |
((op) ? 0x1 << QM_MB_OP_SHIFT : 0) |
(0x1 << QM_MB_BUSY_SHIFT));
mailbox->queue_num = cpu_to_le16(queue);
mailbox->base_l = cpu_to_le32(lower_32_bits(base));
mailbox->base_h = cpu_to_le32(upper_32_bits(base));
mailbox->rsvd = 0;

We have to do a 128bit atomic write here to trigger a mailbox. The reason
is that the PF and related VFs of a hardware cannot write mailbox MMIO at the
same time.
For this SoC(Kunpeng) which has QM, if the address is 128bit aligned, stp will
be atomic. The offset of QM mailbox is 128bit aligned, so it is safe here.
