Would it help to introduce a new .init_l2_cache() callback? That
way, the architecture code can default to initializing any l2x0
that it finds in DT, and have give platforms the option of
overriding the call if they need to, and we can do it at the
same point during early boot for everyone.

A number of platforms currently have the same

static void __init this_platform_init(void)
{
      l2x0_of_init(0, ~0UL);
      of_platform_populate(NULL, of_default_bus_match_table, NULL, NULL);
}

Where the second line is already the default for .init_machine,
and it would be nice to get rid of the callback entirely, especially
for the machines that don't do anything else in their platform
code.
