Ah, the driver is trying to use the native gcc built atomic ops like:
__sync_val_compare_and_swap, but it seems the native aarch64 doesn't
provide these builtin atomic primitives while they are in the cross
compile toolchain.
The issue can be resolved by replacing the
**__sync_val_compare_and_swap** with **atomic_cmpxchg**.
But don't know why the native aarch64 toolchain doesn't have those
builtin atomic functions...
