This patchset enables dcache support for Raspberry Pi 1.
First the cache support code for arm1136 and 1176 was merged.
CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE is defined as 32 bytes which is used as alignment
for mailbox buffer allocations.
Then rpi mailbox code has now dcache flush for writing the mailbox request and
a dcache invalidation for receiving the mailbox answer.
Finally the CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF switch got removed from rpi1 config. It is
still set for rpi2 config.
dcache supprt increases the MMC read performance on RPI 1 from 5,4 MiB/s to
12.3 MiB/s. TFTP download over USB Ethernet increases from 2,3 MiB/s to
2,6 to 3,3 MiB/s (seems to vary a lot).
This was tested by the following commands:
> fatload mmc 0:1 ${kernel_addr_r} zImage
and
> tftp u-boot.bin
Changes in v4:
* Added Acked-By and Tested-By of Stephen Warren
* Set CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE for rpi and rpi2 appropriately
* Updated USB buffer comment about required alignment
* Used git format-patch -M to generate patches
Changes in v3:
* dwc2 dcache support
* Use ALLOC_CACHE_ALIGN_BUFFER for mailbox buffer allocation
* Use ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN for size to roundup
Changes in v2:
* Merge arm1136/1176 cache code
* Use cacheline size as mailbox buffer alignment
* Flush/invalidate mailbox buffer up to cacheline size
