[U-Boot] [PATCH 7/9] CACHE: net: Test if start address is aligned

This prevents the scenario where data cache is on and the
device uses DMA to deploy data. In that case, it might not
be possible to flush/invalidate data to RAM properly. The
other option is to use bounce buffer, but that involves a
lot of copying and therefore degrades performance rapidly.
Therefore disallow this possibility of unaligned load address
altogether if data cache is on.
