Hi Manjunath,

A small thing, but I'd recommend you drop the sentence "Subsequent patches to
new cache management framework has fixed it.", as it implies things were
broken (true) and are now fixed (still not true).

In fact, would it be better to simply drop this patch from the patch series
altogether, leaving the caches explicitly disabled, until such a time as the
EMAC driver is fixed (I guess we are mainly waiting to see if anyone wants to
tackle cache ops for the ARM926EJS) and the code has been verified with
caches enabled?

Bye for now,
