[PATCH] cmd: go: Flush cache before jumping to app/image

[Stefan Roese]

It has been noticed on MT7628/88 platforms, that booting the RAM image
does not work reliably. Sometimes it works and sometimes not. Debugging
showed that this "might" be a cache related issue as very strange
errors occured (output corrupted etc).

This patch adds a cache flush for the complete SDRAM area to the go cmd
before jumping to the entry point. The complete area is flushed as we
don't know at this point, how big the area of the "application" really
is.
