This current seteup will allow the driver to be compile tested for
non-powerpc, which will fail on the dcbf instructions.

Perhaps use this instead:

       depends on WII || WIIU || (COMPILE_TEST && PPC)

The  kernel uses the SDPX header instead of pasting the text.

This could be flush_dcache_range, from asm/cacheflush.h

You could add a msleep in here?

Consider using readl_poll_timeout().
