You should always invalidate the cache before enabling it. Now if
at the 1st boot-up if the ROM code / boot-loader is doing this,
you don't have do it.
At least from kernel point of it's responsibility of
boot-loaders/boot-straps to keep the caches invalidated. That's why
the generic kernel don't invalidate them before enabling them.
RMK has documeneted this. Read " 2. Loader Checks"
