[U-Boot] [PATCH] bootm: flush cache on aligned region

From: Andrey Yurovsky <yurovsky at gmail.com>

bootm_load_os() uses flush_cache() on the region where the OS image is
loaded however the OS image may be part of a FIT image and thereby may
not be aligned with respect to the machine's cache lines. Give
flush_cache() an aligned start of the region to avoid misalignment.
