[U-Boot] [PATCH 0/4] ARM / OMAP5 / DRA7 : Enable proper l2actl configuration

[Nishanth Menon]

Hi,

Triggered by a user report, it was seen that recommended errata
workaround and performance trade-offs as recommended by TI architects
for ARM configuration was not being followed in OMAP5+ ARM A15
platforms in u-boot configuration. Note OMAP5, DRA7 all share the
same cortex A15 revision (ID=0x412fc0f2) and the workarounds and
improvement configurations apply equally.

Certain errata workaround done in this series obviously have the
controversy potential considering that each of the SoCs implement
workaround based on secure monitor calls, but both the service
requested and the parameters of secure monitor calls can be widely
variant. Examples:
OMAP family of processors have quite the family of SMC calls:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/arch/arm/mach-omap2/omap-smc.S
meanwhile Exynos has a much simpler invocation:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/arch/arm/mach-exynos/exynos-smc.S

To maintain some resemblance of symmetry the following series
introduces a arch/machine dependent errata macro which must be enabled
prior to any of such workarounds can be implemented.

I am open to better ways of doing this which might benefit others in
ARM community with similar needs. Lets discuss.

These patches are based on: v2015.04-rc1 but also apply on latest master.

Testing:

AM5728 based Beagleboard-X15: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/10280020/
DRA722 based Evm: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/10280074/
DRA742 based Evm: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/10280115/
OMAP5432 uEVM: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/10280176/
OMAP4460 PandaBoard-ES: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/10280208/ (just sanity)

Appropriate CP15 configuration was cross verified by Lauterbach or by
a custom kernel patch (http://paste.ubuntu.org.cn/2410711).
