[U-Boot] [PATCH 08/14] arm: mvebu: Don't disable cache at startup on Armada XP at all

Stefan Roese sr at denx.de
Mon Dec 14 12:58:43 CET 2015


This patch leaces the cache configuration untouched for the AXP in the
setup done by the BootROM. Resulting in the cache still being enabled
at the startup of U-Boot. This leads to a slightly faster boot to the
U-Boot prompt (or Linux of course).
