Many thanks for working on this. I'll be doing some more test
later this week using this series. One comment though directly:
A few weeks ago I wanted to enable the "cache" cmd (CMD_CACHE)
on my MT7688 MIPS platform. Unfortunately some I-Cache functions
are missing for this:
building ...
cmd/built-in.o: In function `do_icache':
cmd/cache.c:(.text.do_icache+0x48): undefined reference to `icache_disable'
cmd/cache.c:(.text.do_icache+0x68): undefined reference to `icache_enable'
cmd/cache.c:(.text.do_icache+0x88): undefined reference to `icache_status'
Makefile:1350: recipe for target 'u-boot' failed
Would it be possible to add those functions as well to this
series (or some follow-up patch)? Using the cache cmd can be
quite helpful while testing / debugging.
Thanks,
Stefan
