Applied.

Although using platform specific interfaces like
cacheable_memzero() means this driver moves even further
from being compilable on other platforms.

We'd like at some point to have NOP OF and other bus
layer interfaces even for platforms without those busses
so that compilations of various drivers on those busses
can still be build tested even on other platforms.
