The pull request was rejected because of the use of such barrier, which 
is reported by checkpatch.

### [PATCH] baseband/fpga_5gnr_fec: add AGX100 support
Warning in drivers/baseband/fpga_5gnr_fec/rte_fpga_5gnr_fec.c:
Using rte_smp_[r/w]mb

> Are all DPDK drivers being changed?

My understanding is that for now, only new occurrences are prohibited,
can you confirm Tyler?

If so we could only change for now the patch adding ACX100.
But... I preferred doing the changes for all bbdev drivers for
consistency.

I think it is better to change now that we are far from the next LTS.

If I disassemble fpga_dequeue_enc() with and without the patch, I cannot
spot a difference.

Thomas, are you waiting for this series to be applied to take the pull
request that was initially for -rc1?

Thanks,
Maxime
