[U-Boot] [PATCH] MIPS: fix mips_cache fallback without __builtin_mips_cache

The "R" constraint supplies the address of an variable in a register. Use
"r" instead and adjust asm to supply the content of addr in a register
instead.

Hi,
I've noticed this when reading the code to understand how the cache
instruction is used. I'm not sure if this bug had any practical
consequences, or if nowadays all relevant compilers have
__builtin_mips_cache anyways.

Please keep me in Cc in follow-up mails, I'm not subscribed to the u-boot
ML.

Matthias
