FWIW, IIUC the immediate-offset forms *without* writeback can still be reported
usefully in ESR_ELx, so I believe that we could use the "o" constraint for the
__raw_write*() functions, e.g.

static __always_inline void __raw_writeq(u64 val, volatile void __iomem *addr)
{
	asm volatile("str %x0, %1" : : "rZ" (val), "o" (*(volatile u64 *)addr));
}

However, the __raw_read*() functions would still need to use "r" due to
ARM64_WORKAROUND_DEVICE_LOAD_ACQUIRE.
