[U-Boot] [PATCH] armv7: psci: cpu_off: flush D-Cache before disable D-Cache

Before disable cache, need to first flush cache.

There maybe dirty data in D-Cache before disable D-Cache.
After disable D-Cache, the first store instructions in
psci_v7_flush_dcache_all will directly store registers
{r4-r5, r7, r9-r11, lr} to memory.
If there is dirty data before disable D-Cache,
psci_v7_flush_dcache_all will flush data to memory,
and may overwrite the memory that hold the registers
{r4-r5, r7, r9-r11, lr}.

So before disable cache, first flush D-Cache.
