I've realised that changing the arguments for the cacheflush functions
is much more work than its worth, due to other archs using these
functions.
The next patch will just translate the asm cacheflush functions to c,
keeping the existing parameters.
So this won't have any effect on the drivers.
Thanks,
Matt Brown
