[PATCH v2 0/5] mips: Improve initial Octeon MIPS64 support

[Stefan Roese]

This patchset improves the Octeon base support by adding a very early
copy of the U-Boot image from bootspace (e.g. parallel NOR CFI flash)
to the L2 cache and continue execution there.

This is done by introducing the optional hook mips_mach_early_init() to
start.S for very early machine specific code. This code can be selected
via the new Kconfig symbol CONFIG_MIPS_MACH_EARLY_INIT.

Additionally, the common invalidate_dcache_range() implementation is
also changed to a weak function allowing Octeon to adds its own no-op
cache function (Octeon is cache coherent).

This patchset is based on the base Octeon patchsert in v4.

Thanks,
Stefan

Changes in v2:
- Change mips_mach_early_init() as suggested by Daniel to make it
  easier to understand and smaller
- Drop CONFIG_BOARD_SIZE_LIMIT

Stefan Roese (5):
  mips: Add CONFIG_MIPS_MACH_EARLY_INIT for very early mach init code
  mips: octeon: use mips_mach_early_init() to copy to L2 cache
  mips: octeon: octeon_ebb7304: Change TEXT_BASE to L2 cache
  mips: cache: Make invalidate_dcache_range() weak to enable overwrite
  mips: octeon: Add empty invalidate_dcache_range()
