Subject: [PATCH 14/37] r8169: fix memory corruption on retrieval of hardware statistics.

From: Francois Romieu <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 26 Jan 2018 01:53:26 +0100

[ Upstream commit a78e93661c5fd30b9e1dee464b2f62f966883ef7 ]

Hardware statistics retrieval hurts in tight invocation loops.

Avoid extraneous write and enforce strict ordering of writes targeted to
the tally counters dump area address registers.
