Because these are in different coherency domains, the write to the VF's PL-register-backed Mailbox Control can race in front of the writes to the MA-backed VF Mailbox Data "registers". So we need to do a read-back on at least one byte of the VF Mailbox Data registers before doing the write to the VF Mailbox Control register. Signed-off-by: Casey Leedom Signed-off-by: David S.
