This is precisely a super I/O driver (gpio-f7188x) which, when used
with concurrent accesses on an SMP machine triggered the issue which
prompted this patch.

In case information on the original issue is desired:
My original report (ignore attached patch, it was rejected as it
breaks other chips supported by this driver):

My test procedure (second half of the mail), which I used to validate
the patch against 4.1:

Simon Guinot & Vincent Donnefort debugging results:
