Hi Albert,

Rationale for turning OFF D cache:

1. Before change introduced in commit
SHA1:c2dd0d45540397704de9b13287417d21049d34c6 the D-cache for
GONI/Universal_c210 targets was disabled. This change was supposed to
preserve this state.

2. I've done some investigation about enabling D-cache support. It
turned out, that some drivers (which are already posted or are in the
queue for posting to u-boot list) have had problems with D-cache
coherency. 

This commit shall be treated as a temporal solution. After solving
cache management (and coherency) problems the D-cache would be
definitely enabled.
