  To: u-boot

With D-cache and MMU enabled for ARM in u-boot it becomes imperative to
support a minimal set of cache maintenance operations and necessary
initializations before enabling MMU.

This series of patches attempt to do the following for armv7:
* Necessary initialization sequence before enabling MMU that includes
  invalidation of TLB, data caches, branch predictor array etc.
* Framework for supporting SOC specific outer caches in a generic manner
  (using a structure of function pointers - inspired by the Linux
  implementation)
* Generic armv7 cache maintenance operations for caches known to the CPU
* Support for ARM PL310 L2 cache controller used in OMAP4
* Cleanup of the cleanup_before_linux() function
* Adapting all armv7 SOCs to use the new framework and removing
  duplicated code

Testing:
* Extensive testing on OMAP4430SDP and OMAP3430SDP by creating coherency
  issues and solving them using the maintenance routines
	- Eg: memfill a region of memory with a known pattern
	- Invalidate the region
	- Read back and compare the region with the original pattern
	- If match fails it means that invalidate is successful
	- Now add a flush call just before the invalidate
	- If match succeeds it means that flush was successful
	- Outer caches were tested with experiments involving making the
	  function pointers NULL
* Kernel booting on OMAP4430SDP and OMAP3430SDP
Note: v2 has been tested only on OMAP4430SDP

v2:
* Pointer based callback mechanism for outer cache operations
  changed to a weakly linked functions.
* Change -march=armv7-a back to armv5
* Moved utility macros out of armv7.h
* Added documentation for new CONFIG options.
* Changed implementation of log2n to not use CLZ instruction as armv4
  doesn't support this instruction and newly added Tegra2 uses
  -march=armv4
* Blank line after local variable declarations - fixed globally
* Explicitly added an empty flush_cache() under
  #ifdef CONFIG_SYS_NO_DCACHE
* Removed the print inside the weakly linked stub function -
  __arm_init_before_mmu
* Fixed signature of flush_cache in cache.c
* More descriptive commit message for the PL310 support patch
* C struct for PL310 register accesses
* Fixed white space issues

Aneesh V (10):
  arm: make default implementation of cache_flush() weakly linked
  armv7: add miscellaneous utility macros
  armv7: cache maintenance operations for armv7
  armv7: replace CONFIG_L2_OFF with CONFIG_SYS_NO_L2CACHE
  armv7: integrate cache maintenance support
  arm: minor fixes for cache and mmu handling
  armv7: add PL310 support to u-boot
  armv7: adapt omap4 to the new cache maintenance framework
  armv7: adapt omap3 to the new cache maintenance framework
  armv7: adapt s5pc1xx to the new cache maintenance framework
