/** \brief  Flush the data/operand cache.

    This function flushes a range of the data/operand cache, forcing a write-
    back on all of the data in the specified range. This does not invalidate the
    cache in the process (meaning the blocks will still be in the cache, just
    not marked as dirty after this has completed). If you wish to invalidate the
    cache as well, call dcache_inval_range() after calling this function.

    \param  start           The physical address to begin flushing at.
    \param  count           The number of bytes to flush.
