[U-Boot] [PATCH 1/2] ARM: cache: introduce weak arm_setup_identity_mapping

Separate the MMU identity mapping for ARM in a weak function, to allow
redefinition with platform specific function.

This is motivated by the need to unmap the region near address zero on HS OMAP
devices, to avoid speculative accesses. Accessing this region causes security
violations, which we want to avoid.
