3.2.60-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Ezequiel Garcia <ezequiel.gar...@free-electrons.com> commit 5a9a55bf9157d3490b0c8c4c81d4708602c26e07 upstream. We need to use writel() instead of writel_relaxed() when starting a channel, to ensure all the descriptors have been flushed before the activation. While at it, remove the unneeded read-modify-write and make the code simpler.
