[U-Boot] [PATCH 1/3] net: davinci_emac: Remove useless dcache ops on descriptors

[Karl Beldan]

ATM the rx and tx descriptors are handled as cached memory while they
lie in a dedicated RAM of the SoCs, which is an uncached area.
Removing the said dcache ops, while optimizing the logic and clarifying
the code, also gets rid of most of the check_cache_range() incurred
warnings:
CACHE: Misaligned operation at range
