Your choice though the file looks to me to be linux
specific as it uses #include <linux/stddef.h>

Also, two functions, __TBIDataCacheFlush and
__TBICodeCacheFlush, have an unnecessary indentation
level after a test and return.

void __TBICodeCacheFlush( const void *pStart, int Bytes )
{
	volatile int *pCtrl = (volatile int *) SYSC_CACHE_MMU_CONFIG;

	if ( !__TBICacheDoneInit )
		__TBICacheInit();

	if ( (pCtrl[0] & SYSC_CMMUCFG_IC_ON_BIT) == 0 )
	{
		/* No need to flush the code cache it's not actually enabled */
		return;
	} 

	{
		/* Use a sequence of writes to flush the cache region requested */	
		int Loops, Step;

		etc.

I believe the automatics in the second blocks should
be moved to the start of the function and the
unnecessary braces and extra indentation removed.
