[dpdk-stable] [PATCH v2 5/5] net/bnxt: enforce io barrier for doorbell command

[Gavin Hu]

The doorbell ringing operation requires a rte_io_mb immediately to make
the command complete and visible to the device before reading the
response, otherwise it may read stale or invalid responses.

Fixes: ca241d9a0952 ("net/bnxt: use I/O device memory read/write API")
