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.
