V2: use common register UVD_STATUS for readback (standard PCI MMIO
behavior, i.e. readback post all writes to let the writes hit
the hardware)
add read-back in ..._stop() for more coverage.
Similar to the changes made for VCN v4.0.5 where readback to post the
writes to avoid race with the doorbell, the addition of register
readback support in other VCN versions is intended to prevent potential
race conditions, even though such issues have not been observed yet.
This change ensures consistency across different VCN variants and helps
avoid similar issues. The overhead introduced is negligible.
