That's not what I meant; I meant you need something like:

#define flush_cache_range(vma, start, end) cache_wbinv_range(start, end)

The first argument is a vma, not an mm.

For v2, which IIUC is PIPT (as opposed to v1 which is VIPT), what you
had was correct.

I was merely pointing out that the flush_cache_range() definition was
inconsitent between v1 and v2; v1 using @mm and v2 using @vma for the
first argument.
