[U-Boot] CACHE: Misaligned operation

Hi,

I just tested the current U-Boot master on my i.MX6Q board and the
following two warnings showed up on the console:

U-Boot 2016.09-rc1-00377-gb8698a2

CPU:   Freescale i.MX6Q rev1.5 at 792 MHz
Reset cause: POR
DRAM:  1 GiB
CACHE: Misaligned operation at range [4fff0000, 4fff0004]
CACHE: Misaligned operation at range [4fff0024, 4fff0028]

(But everything works fine, as far as I can tell for now)

I did a git bisect and found out that these two warning messages are
shown since commit 96e451bfa39b (arm: Show cache warnings in U-Boot
proper only), where a debug statement was changed to a non-SPL warning.

Was this intentional and is this warning something to be worried about?

If not, we could add a new macro debug_non_spl with debug_cond
!_SPL_BUILD && DEBUG and use that in check_cache_range.

What do you think? 

Thanks,
Clemens
