[RFC] rockchip: spl: Enable caches to speed up checksum validation

FIT checksum validation is very slow in SPL due to D-cache not being
enabled.

Enable caches in SPL to speed up FIT checksum validation, from seconds
to milliseconds.

I am not sure if it is even a good idea to enable caches in SPL, if this
is the best way to enable caches and maybe this should be behind a
Kconfig option?

Have only been able to runtime test this on RK3328, RK3399 and RK3568.

Any advice on this would be grateful.

Regards,
Jonas
