[U-Boot] [PATCH v5 09/16] arm: Add control over cachability of memory regions

Simon Glass sjg at chromium.org
Mon Oct 8 23:42:29 CEST 2012


Add support for adjusting the cachability of an L1 section by updating
the MMU. The mmu_set_region_dcache() function allows drivers to make
these changes after the MMU is set up.

It is implemented only for ARMv7 at present.

This is needed for LCD support, where we want to make the LCD frame buffer
write-through (or off) rather than write-back.

Changes in v4:
- Use system bit values for enum dcache_option instead of arbitrary numbers
