It would also depend on the size of different segments (mainly kernel 
and initrd) on which sha256 is calculated. What are the size of binaries 
in your case?

In my case:

segment[0].memsz = 0x10e0000 // kernel
segment[1].memsz = 0x1910000 // initrd
segment[2].memsz = 0x10000   // dtb
segment[3].memsz = 0x40000   // purgatory, not included in sha256
segment[4].memsz = 0x10000   // elf core hdr

@Geoff: Do you see any specific side effect for enabling D-cache in 
purgatory, other than the fact that it increases size of purgatory? May 
be we can keep an user option to select/not select d-cache enabling.
