Your patch looks correct for this particular problem, but I
see that there are a couple of other issues in the same function:

For the arm64 version:

- the "dmb oshst" barrier needs to come before the stp, not after
it, otherwise there is no guarantee that data written to memory
is visible by the device when the mailbox gets triggered
- The input/output arguments need to be pointers to 128-bit types,
either a struct or a __uint128_t
- this lacks a byteswap on big-endian kernels

This version has the same problems, plus the write is not actually
atomic. I wonder if a pair of writeq() calls would just do the
right thing here for both arm64 and others, or possibly a
writeq() followed by a writeq_relaxed() to avoid the extra dmb()
in the middle.
