Some registers only allow word-sized or half-word-sized operations and will cause a data fault when accessed with byte-sized operations. However, the compiler may or may not break such an operation into smaller (byte-sized) chunks. Thus, we need to reliably perform word-sized operations for 32 bit read/write and half-word-sized operations for 16 bit read/write. This is particularly the case on the rk3288 SRAM registers, where the watchdog tombstone is stored. Moving to GCC 5.2.0 introduced a change of strategy in the compiler, where a 32 bit read would be broken into byte-sized chunks, which caused a data fault when accessing the watchdog tombstone register. The definitions for byte-sized memory operations are also adapted to stay consistent with the rest.
