[U-Boot] [PATCH v2 2/7] riscv: move the AX25-specific implementation of flush_dcache_all

The fence instruction is used to enforce device I/O and memory ordering
constraints in RISC-V. It can not be relied on to directly affect the
data cache on every CPU.
Andes' AX25 does not have a coherence agent. Its fence instruction
flushes the data cache and is used to keep data in the system coherent.
The implementation of flush_dcache_all in lib/cache.c is therefore
specific to the AX25. Move it into the AX25-specific cache.c in
cpu/ax25/.

This also adds a missing new line between flush_dcache_all and
flush_dcache_range in lib/cache.c.

Changes in v2:
- Replace patch "riscv: remove invalid dcache flush implementation" with
new patch "riscv: move the AX25-specific implementation of
flush_dcache_all"
