Do you have some example in mind?

I would like to reduce the proliferation of different cache enable
functions. Right now we have (i|d)cache_enable which are RISC-V-specific
and called very early during boot; cache_enable, which must be called
manually; enable_caches, which is implemented only for ARM; and your
proposed cache_init. I don't think there is need for yet another way to
accomplish the same thing.
