[PATCH] ARM: l2x0: add L210 write allocate override flag

[PATCH] ARM: l2x0: add L210 write allocate override flag

[Linus Walleij]

This adds support for setting the flag bit "write allocate
override" to the L210 variant.

The "write allocate override" bit is used on the Nomadik STn8815
and is necessary to properly make use of the L210 cache on that
machine without sporadic crashes.

After this the platform can boot and run without any out-of-tree
patches.

Is type missing here? It is there in the above and below properties...
Not sure though if it's required, I am not very familiar with device
tree yaml schema yet.

This is not something that should be done by the kernel but by the
firmware - needing this bit set is a basic requirement of having
the caches enabled, and if (eg) the boot loader enables the caches
it too will suffer this problem.

I see your point. This U-Boot port does not enable the cache, I guess
because it was a bit unusual for ARM926EJ-S machines to have
L2 cache at  the time, and I remember U-Boot was not using L2CC for
a long time (maybe still not?).

The Nomadik was unstable for years and then I looked at the
outoftree vendor kernel and saw that it sets this bit and since I did that
it has been rock solid.

I can of course try to recompile and reflash the U-Boot for this
board but it is stored in NAND flash and if I break it, ugh, I have
toasted this board and I only have one. So I'm scared about that.

I have been carrying this as an out-of-tree patch for years and I can of
course continue to do so, I just felt it was a bit sad so I tried
to diet down the previous patch to the single bit the Nomadik
needs to set up for it's L2CC to work.

I'm okay with the property as properties for every last L2x0 
register bit pretty much already happened. However, can't you set the 
bit in the machine desc l2c_aux_val?

I'm okay with the property as properties for every last L2x0 
register bit pretty much already happened. However, can't you set the 
bit in the machine desc l2c_aux_val?
