[U-Boot] [PATCH V4 04/11] ARM: Introduce erratum workaround for 621766

Tue Mar 3 23:26:21 CET 2015


621766: Under a specific set of conditions, executing a sequence of
	NEON or vfp load instructions can cause processor deadlock
Impacts: Every Cortex-A8 processors with revision lower than r2p1
Work around: Set L1NEON to 1

Based on ARM errata Document revision 20.0 (13 Nov 2010)
