The functions geni_se_select_fifo_mode() and geni_se_select_fifo_mode() are a little funny. They read/write a bunch of memory mapped registers even if they don't change or aren't relevant for the current protocol. Let's make them a little more sane. We'll also add a comment explaining why we don't do some of the operations for UART. NOTE: there is no evidence at all that this makes any performance difference and it fixes no bugs. However, it seems (to me) like it makes the functions a little easier to understand. Decreasing the amount of times we read/write memory mapped registers is also nice, even if we are using "relaxed" variants.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
