in v4 the author prefer it devkit8000 so I respect it

Yes I insist to remove the code and use a generic code as much we can
for the l2_cache I'm fine to move to omap3 as it's really omap3 specific
but I do want to have the generic v7_flush_dcache_all use for omap3 too

No the topic here is to do the right thing

move code which need to be re-write is incorrect
as Samsung will re-introduce the v7_flush_dcache_all for their soc
so where they will store it?

in cpu/arm_cortexa8/samsung/cache.S

and if we add a new soc which will need the code we will duplicate it agains
no

we clearly need to clean the omap3 and not force other soc to duplicate code
just because on soc
