firewire: ohci: use memory barriers to order descriptor updates
When we append to a DMA program, we need to ensure that the order in which initialization of the new descriptors and update of the branch_address of the old tail descriptor, as seen by the PCI device, happen as intended. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>
