qemu-arm: hang during MMU initialization

[Igor Opaniuk]

Hi,

With this commit 3fa914af82("arm: qemu: implement enable_caches()") introduced,
which enables instruction/data caches for qemu-arm target,
U-Boot sometimes hangs during MMU init procedure :

DRAM:  1 GiB
initcall: 60011df8
initcall: 60011904
New Stack Pointer is: 80fffe90
initcall: 60011a20
initcall: 60011bcc
initcall: 60011bd4
initcall: 600119b4
Relocation Offset is: 22042000
Relocating to 82042000, new gd at 81001ed0, sp at 80fffe90
initcall: 60011b8c
initcall: 82053ea0
initcall: 82053ea8
initcall: 60012040 (relocated to 82054040)
dram_bank_mmu_setup: bank: 0

This issue reproduces every time when the amount of memory provided to QEMU
is not 2MB granular. Looks like it might be some unexpected alignment issue.

Test results (QEMU v5.2.0 release):
qemu-system-arm -machine virt -m 1058 -nographic -bios u-boot.bin - boots OK
qemu-system-arm -machine virt -m 1057 -nographic -bios u-boot.bin - hangs
qemu-system-arm -machine virt -m 1056 -nographic -bios u-boot.bin - boots OK
qemu-system-arm -machine virt -m 1055 -nographic -bios u-boot.bin - hangs

Unfortunately I didn't have a chance to investigate this further, so
just sharing my current observations. Thanks for any input.

Cheers,
Igor
