I'd rather call it HW_BRK_TYPE_NONE

And SPRN_DAWR ?
The above code looks pretty similar to the one at the end of set_dawr().
You should factorise it, for instance
static int __set_dawr(int dawr, int dawrx)
{
if (ppc_md.set_dawr)
return ppc_md.set_dawr(dawr, dawrx);
mtspr(SPRN_DAWR, dawr);
mtspr(SPRN_DAWRX, dawrx);
return 0;
}

Then replace by __set_dawr(0, 0);

And use the new helper at the end of the function too.
