[U-Boot] [PATCH] ARM: socfpga: Assure correct ACTLR configuration

Make sure the ARM ACTLR register has correct configuration, otherwise
the Linux kernel refuses to boot. In particular, the "Write Full Line
of Zeroes" bit must be cleared.

NOTE: This gem was well hidden in the Altera U-Boot fork and is really needed.
      What is not entirely clear to me is WHY ? So why is this needed ?
