No, it should be removed - it's buggy and racy. Devices should only be going into cache only mode if they can't be physically accessed, otherwise you end up with incoherent things like this that create bugs. If the driver is actually able to access the register map, actively doing so and therefore needs to try flipping cache only mode on and off without coordinating with the rest of the device it isn't really in a cache only mode.
