[PATCH v3 6/8] mips: octeon: cache.c: Flush all pending writes in flush_dcache_range()

Stefan Roese sr at denx.de
Fri Aug 21 07:34:11 CEST 2020


As noticed while working on the USB xHCI support, Octeon needs to flush
all pending writes so that the values are present in the memory. Add
this "syncw" instruction (twice) to flush_dcache_range().
