Yes, you were right, this is a quite dumb commit log.

Now commit log can't be changed, anyway this is the list of drivers that 
use it:
drivers/video/mvebu_lcd.c
drivers/video/mxsfb.c (that I'm going to use soon)
drivers/video/bcm2835.c
drivers/video/fsl_dcu_fb.c
drivers/video/tegra.c
drivers/video/imx/mxc_ipuv3_fb.c

drivers/net/zynq_gem.c
drivers/net/mvneta.c
drivers/net/mvpp2.c

And this function prototype is provided by arch/arm/include/asm/system.h

Everything came out when I've tried to build mxsfb.c.

But after this e-mail I've dug deeper and see that sometimes 
mmu_set_region_dcache_behaviour() call is guarded by 
CONFIG_IS_ENABLED(SYS_DCACHE_OFF) and sometimes i.e. 
arch/arm/cpu/armv8/cache_v8.c that function is defined both implemented 
and empty according to CONFIG_IS_ENABLED(SYS_DCACHE_OFF). So one chance 
is to put a check to guard against CONFIG_IS_ENABLED(SYS_DCACHE_OFF) on 
every call(the files listed above), otherwise, where is guarded we 
should remove the guard and adding missing 
mmu_set_region_dcache_behaviour() empty implementation. ~5 files to 
touch, but if you say it's worth, I can do patches for that, and I don't 
see any drawbacks expect having a standard way on dealing with the cache 
function.

What about that?

Kind regards
