Ok, please suggest an alternative. You merged this commit..it looks like
it had no ack from the platform maintainer..and I don't have hardware.
The commit is wrong, we can't have every platform executing sirfsoc's
l2x0_of_init() call/parameters by having this stuff in an early initcall
like that.

It would be pretty straightforward to add those private compatibles
back so the approach works. If not, we need to move this to
.init_machine where it's guaranteed to only run on sirfsoc.
