[U-Boot] [PATCH v2 1/3] ARM: cache: add an empty stub function for invalidate/flush dcache

Since some driver like ohci, lcd used dcache functions. But some ARM
cpu don't implement the invalidate_dcache_range()/flush_dcache_range()
functions.

To avoid compiling errors this patch adds an weak empty stub function
for all ARM cpu.

And each cpu can implement its own implementation. If not implemented
by default it will use an empty function.
