I agree, simply because with the current code, enable_caches() does not enable
icache if CONFIG_SYS_ICACHE_OFF is not defined but CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF is.

But is it enough to move it? We could indeed move it after the #endif, but also
change it to:

---
#if !defined(CONFIG_SYS_ICACHE_OFF) || !defined(CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF)
void enable_caches(void)
{
#ifndef CONFIG_SYS_ICACHE_OFF
	icache_enable();
#endif
#ifndef CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF
	dcache_enable();
#endif
}
#endif
---

In that way, the default __enable_caches() from cache.c (outputting
"WARNING: Caches not enabled\n") would be linked if both CONFIG_SYS_ICACHE_OFF
and CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF are defined.

Do you agree?

OK ;) , I'll do that after your answer to the question above.
