Probably not, because it depends on many variables. See below my take on
this.

This depends on whether the L2 is inner or outer:

L2 inner - leave it enabled in the boot loader
L2 outer - leave it disabled in the boot loader

Same as above:

L2 inner - don't do anything, it gets used when SCTLR.M is enabled
L2 outer - enabled at boot time via the platform code (later, after MMU
	was enabled).
