[U-Boot] [PATCH 5/9] MIPS: If we don't need DDR for cache init, init cache first

On systems where cache initialisation doesn't require zeroed memory (ie.
systems where CONFIG_SYS_MIPS_CACHE_INIT_RAM_LOAD is not defined)
perform cache initialisation prior to lowlevel_init & DDR
initialisation. This allows for DDR initialisation code to run cached &
thus significantly faster.
