[U-Boot] [PATCH V2 2/4] ARM: tegra: translate __asm_flush_l3_cache to assembly

From: Stephen Warren <swarren at nvidia.com>
When performing a cache disable function, code must not access DRAM.
That is because when the cache is disabled, it will be bypassed and all
loads and stores will be serviced by RAM. This prevents accessing any
dirty data in the cache. In turn, this means the stack cannot be
used, since that is in RAM. To guarantee that code doesn't use RAM (and
in particular the stack) __asm_flush_l3_cache() must be manually
implemented in assembly, rather than implemented in C since the compiler
won't know not to touch RAM.
