why iowrite32_rep() doesn't work, I have to use the iowrite32() with a loop

Thank you I think that explain why it doesn't work.

What I want is a relaxed version of the io{read,write}32, as I don't 
need to flush between I am writing the registers table into the 
registers. I only want to flush the cache at the last and isolated 
register which I will set later.

Is there any suggest about that?
