2839e06c95 ARM: 6795/1: l2x0: Errata fix for flush by Way operation can cause data corrupti
PL310 implements the Clean & Invalidate by Way L2 cache maintenance
operation (offset 0x7FC). This operation runs in background so that
PL310 can handle normal accesses while it is in progress. Under very
rare circumstances, due to this erratum, write data can be lost when
PL310 treats a cacheable write transaction during a Clean & Invalidate
by Way operation.

Workaround:
Disable Write-Back and Cache Linefill (Debug Control Register)
Clean & Invalidate by Way (0x7FC)
Re-enable Write-Back and Cache Linefill (Debug Control Register)

This patch also removes any OMAP dependency on PL310 Errata's

ae360a78f4 arm: Disable outer (L2) cache in kexec
kexec does not disable the outer cache before disabling the inner
caches in cpu_proc_fin(). So L2 is enabled across the kexec jump. When
the new kernel enables chaches again, it randomly crashes.

Disabling L2 before calling cpu_proc_fin() cures the problem.

Disabling L2 requires the following new functions: flush_all(),
inv_all() and disable(). Add them to outer_cache_fns and call them
from the kexec code.

319f551a0a ARM: 5994/1: ARM: Add outer_cache_fns.sync function pointer (2/4)
This patch introduces the outer_cache_fns.sync function pointer together
with the OUTER_CACHE_SYNC config option that can be used to drain the
write buffer of the outer cache.

33f663ff91 ARM: 5993/1: ARM: Move the outer_cache definitions into a separate file (1/4)
To avoid #include collisions with subsequent patches in the series, this
patch moves the outer_cache definitions to a separate asm/outercache.h
file.
