No, the function returned true only if the pointers matched;
otherwise, amnfifopntr_w == amnfifopntr_r_y would return false. I was
simply removing the repetitive pointer check and directly returning
false at the end of the function, as we can be certain at that point.
Hence, I did not add a Fixes tag. Am I missing something?

I wanted to keep this consistent with the rz3e_fifo_empty(). If you
prefer the above I'll do that in v2.
