[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 2/5] net/ice: use relaxed and remove duplicate barrier

[Gavin Hu]

To guarantee the orderings of successive stores to CIO and MMIO memory,
a lighter weight rte_io_wmb [1] can be used instead of rte_wmb, and since
the ICE_PCI_REG_WRITE API already has an inclusive rte_io_wmb, this
explicit call can even be saved.

rte_atomic.h#n98
