Did you ever get a straight answer on the dsb here?
We didn't. Having a look just now, the earliest example appears to be
in OMAP4 L2 support patches back in 2009 [1]. I was not able to find a
rationale.
My guess is it was added out of frustration during early OMAP
development and forgotten.  Then it became cargo cult.
