I believe we can turn of the dcache as default for socfpga while effort
in progress to figure out the issue.

FYI, I was experimenting with L2 cache PL-310 registers but not
successful. I am trying to understand any issue between L2 cache and
the SDRAM. There is l2 cache sync after a flush but seems its not
working fine. Adding delay works but that not deemed a correct solution
(for USB case). Probably doing a virtual memory aliasing might
understand where the data was stuck.
