Just when you think a bootloader wouldn't muck with something like this...

I'll ask the obvious question: As this is u-boot, can't this be fixed in
u-boot?

Do you really need to read the register first?

Can't this just be done unconditionally in l2x0_init for everyone. I
doubt anyone wants to lock down ways. You would need to adjust for
16-way support.
