The integer-sizes on the flushing really aren’t a big issue, as everyone runs 
from the lower 32bits as of today.
And it could easily be another 6 years, before we hit the first 64bit address 
for any of the buffers being flushed.
Even as the integer types on the dwc3_flush_range are consistently mismatches, 
that is just a sideshow and
doesn’t cause any issues for anyone.

The big one for us is really the patch submitted to reorder the flushes (i.e. 
clean+invalidate operations),
as we sometimes (depends both on what happened before that in U-Boot — e.g. 
using the network
stack will always hide this — and on what configuration we compile into U-Boot) 
have cachelines
matching the allocation via dma_alloc_coherent either as cached (or possibly 
even as modified) in our
cache.

Any opinion on changing the sequencing of cache-maintenance relative to the 
payload?

Regards,
Philipp.
