Hey,

I think most of what I wanted to talk about has been raised by Arnd or
Geert, so I kinda only have a couple of small comments for you here.

So, given Arnd has renamed the generic helpers, should we use the
writeback/invalidate/writeback & invalidate terminology here too?
I think it'd be nice to make the "driver" functions match the generic
implementations's names (even though that means not making the
instruction naming).

Why'd you do that?
What is the reason that the Zicbom stuff cannot live in
dma-noncoherent.[ch] and only expose, say:
void riscv_cbom_register_cmo_ops(void)
{
	riscv_noncoherent_register_cache_ops(&zicbom_cmo_ops);
}
which you then call from setup.c?

I think all of the above should be prefixed with riscv_cbom to match the
other riscv_cbom stuff we already have.
Although, given the discussion elsewhere about just falling back to
zicbom in the absence of specific ops, most of these functions will
probably disappear (if not all of them).

Cheers,
Conor.
