I wouldn't necessarily classify the use of __raw_writel as wrong
(as in a bug) - since the specific code is question is only run
on ARMv5 based SoCs. 

A lot of DaVinci code uses __raw_* variants, and perhaps should
be changed to use readl/writel instead - at least it will help
copying that code over for other uses.

That should be the subject of separate (series of) patches.

Thanks,
