You don't need above #ifdef. In case of non-outer
cache the function pointer is null anyways.

This will be un-necessary when inner cache is available, no ?
May be you can re-arrange the code like below, unless and until
you would like to invalidate any speculative fetches during the
outer_flush_range()
__cpuc_clean_dcache_area(_p, size);
if (outer_cache.flush_range)
outer_flush_range(__pa(_p), __pa(_p + size));
Rest of the patch looks fine to me.
