media: verisilicon: change confusingly named relaxed register access
The register abstraction has wrappers around both the normal writel() and its writel_relaxed() counterpart, but this has led to a lot of users ending up with the relaxed version. There is sometimes a need to intentionally pick the relaxed accessor for performance critical functions, but I noticed that each hantro_reg_write() call also contains a non-relaxed readl(), which is typically much more expensive than a writel, so there is little benefit here but an added risk of missing a serialization against DMA. To make this behave like other interfaces, use the normal accessor by default and only provide the relaxed version as an alternative for performance critical code. hantro_postproc.c is the only place that used both the relaxed and normal writel, but this does not seem cricital either, so change it all to the normal ones.
