Ah, right, sorry.

So what should we do? The fsl_udc_core driver currently fails to build
because it uses flush_dcache_range unconditionally. So the obvious ways
to fix it are:

 1) define flush_dcache_range
   a) in arch/arm
   b) in the driver
 2) make the driver not use flush_dcache_range
   a) #ifdef 
   b) revert 09ba0de (and probably some commits that depend on it)
   c) use a different function to flush the cache
