[U-Boot] [PATCH v3] nand: Fix cache and memory inconsistent issue

we load the secondary stage u-boot image from NAND to
system memory by nand_load, but we did not flush d-cache
to memory, not invalidate i-cache before we jump to RAM.
when the system is cache enable and the TLB/page attribute
of system memory is cacheable, it will cause issue.

- 83xx family is using the d-cache lock, so all of d-cache
  access is cache-inhibited. so you can't see the issue.
- 85xx family is using d-cache, i-cache enable, partial
  cache lock. you will see the issue.

The patch fix the cache issue.

Stefan,

I'm not familiar with ppc4xx, could you workout one
patch for nand_boot.c?

Thanks,
Dave
