Subject: [PATCH resend 2/2] Revert "ARM: 8857/1: efi: enable CP15 DMB instructions before cleaning the cache"
Date: Wed,  6 Nov 2019 11:49:18 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191106104918.26397-3-ardb@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20191106104918.26397-1-ardb@kernel.org>

This reverts commit e17b1af96b2afc38e684aa2f1033387e2ed10029, which is
no longer necessary now that the v7 specific routines take care not to
issue CP15 barrier instructions before they are enabled in SCTLR.
