Note!  I had a brain fart here last night and used 'printf %x' when I
thought I was doing 'printf %d', so, no, ARM64 should get moved up to
shift 7 / 128 bytes.

I'm agreeable to moving over to shift to more obviously align with the
Linux Kernel (and it will make other arches easier to migrate too).  But
the UniPhier case currently looks to me like it's overloading what
CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE is doing, ie in the Linux Kernel it's not
setting the shift to 7, in 32bit.  Or is this a 64bit only feature?
Thanks!
