What's the intended use of this?

This looks very specific to a particular platform.

This looks odd. Aren't these the values in the page tables (complete
with attributes), rather than (virtual) addresses?
What exactly are you trying to flush here? Depending on your TCR
settings you don't necessarily have to flush the tables themselves,
assuming they don't fall inside the region being changed?

If the region was previously cacheable, you'll need to
(clean+)invalidate here to clear the PA range in the caches.
Thanks,
Mark.
