6.16-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Johan Hovold johan+linaro@kernel.org
commit 8c1ba5091fa9a2d1478da63173b16a701bdf86bb upstream.
Add the missing memory barrier to make sure that destination ring descriptors are read after the head pointers to avoid using stale data on weakly ordered architectures like aarch64.
The barrier is added to the ath11k_hal_srng_access_begin() helper for symmetry with follow-on fixes for source ring buffer corruption which will add barriers to ath11k_hal_srng_access_end().
Tested-on: WCN6855 hw2.1 WLAN.HSP.1.1-03125-QCAHSPSWPL_V1_V2_SILICONZ_LITE-3.6510.41
