used as below:

Implemented in c/src/lib/libcpu/arm/shared/include/arm-cp15.h
Atleast the assembly syntax is the same.

ARM_CP15_TEXT_SECTION static inline void
arm_cp15_drain_write_buffer(void)
{
  ARM_SWITCH_REGISTERS;
  uint32_t sbz = 0;

  __asm__ volatile (
    ARM_SWITCH_TO_ARM
    "mcr p15, 0, %[sbz], c7, c10, 4\n"
    ARM_SWITCH_BACK
    : ARM_SWITCH_OUTPUT
    : [sbz] "r" (sbz)
    : "memory"
  );
}



Thanks
