I've no idea. But for working around, I would give Acked-by.

Better than I thought :). The "non-cacheable but bufferable" is "weak
order," also raising the bufferable signal of AXI transactions. Right?
But some drivers think ctrl desc is strong order without bufferable
and don't put any mb() before/after IO control operations.
