[PATCH v2 13/32] dmaengine: at_hdmac: Don't allow CPU to reorder channel enable

at_hdmac uses __raw_writel for register writes. In the absence of a
barrier, the CPU may reorder the register operations.
Introduce a write memory barrier so that the CPU does not reorder the
channel enable, thus the start of the transfer, without making sure that
all the pre-required register fields are already written.
