I disagree. Rk3288 (and especially the firefly) is actually a very
interesting platform for EFI applications like grub2.

If a full icache invalidate causes breakage, maybe in the non-efi case
you're just getting lucky because you code that got overwritten is still
in the cache.

Please keep debugging to figure out what is causing the invalid data to
go into your icache. Maybe just disable icache altogether for
verification and run checksums on the text section after every dma?
