No need to phys_to_virt, and we could use paddr directly (dcache.ipa
rs1).

Please remove the thead_errata_cache_wback because T-HEAD processors
would prioritize using an invalid cacheline instead of evicting an
existing cacheline. When we do dcache clean, the following operations
are to let other interconnect masters read. So, keeping wback_inv for
T-HEAD processors is the best choice, and maybe some other processors'
vendor has a different idea, but please use the wback_inv instead of
wback_only for the T-HEAD processors.

Ditto.

Please  .wback = &thead_errata_cache_wback_inv,
