[U-Boot] [PATCH v2 1/2] arm: Replace v7_maint_dcache_all(ARMV7_DCACHE_CLEAN_INVAL_ALL) with asm code

v7_maint_dcache_all() does not work reliable when build with gcc6,
see: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1318788

While debugging this I learned that v7_maint_dcache_all() is unreliable
when build with gcc5 too when it is marked as noinline.

This commit fixes the reliability issues by replacing the C-code with
the ready to use asm implementation from the kernel.

Given that this code when written as C-code clearly is quite fragile
(also see the existing comments about the C-code being the way it is
 to get optimal assembly) and that we have a proven asm alternative,
I believe that this is the best solution.

Note that we actually already had a copy of the kernel's
v7_flush_dcache_all() before this commit in
arch/arm/mach-uniphier/arm32/lowlevel_init.S.

This commit moves that code arch/arm/cpu/armv7/cache_v7_asm.S, renames
it to __v7_flush_dcache_all(), and adds a v7_flush_dcache_all() wrapper
which saves / restores the clobbered registers for use from C-code.

Changes in v2:
-Remove "Copyright (C) 2012-2015 Masahiro Yamada" from the header
-Move the v7_flush_dcache_all asm code from
 arch/arm/mach-uniphier/arm32/lowlevel_init.S to
 arch/arm/cpu/armv7/cache_v7_asm.S instead of adding a second copy
