Signed-off-by: Matthieu Castet <redacted>Please consider adding some sort of commit text. Does this add some new feature I may want on some downstream distro kernel?
ok
It's unfortunate that the main logic is duplicated. I wonder if we could push the runtime decision slightly lower into the accessor functions instead and make some new functions dcc_tx_busy() and dcc_rx_busy() or something. Then these loops stay the same.

I don't see multiple character.
On armv5 isb is only a memory barrier (__asm__ __volatile__ ("" : : : "memory"))
and it may be not need for dcc operation.
