MLK-10647 armv7: Fix Dcache disable issue on i.MX7
The issue on the i.MX7D is that, there is one cache-able memory access
between the L1 and L2 cache flush by calling the flush_dache_all->
v7_maint_dcache_all() [Flush L1 and L2 cache) which written in the C code.
L1-cache-flush -> This will flush L1 cache to L2 cache in the end.
Cache-able memory access -> This will have the chance cause the L1 line-fill
with dirty data from L2 cache(L1 cache-line dirty,
L2 clean)
L2-cache-flush -> This will only flush L2 cache to L3, but still
some dirty data on the L1 cacheline.
After C & M bit clean, -> The dirty data on the L1 cache line lost, which will
cause memory coherent issue if that dirty cache line
has some useful data
The only problem here is: there is one cache-cable memory access between L1 and L2 cache flush.
This patch should works fine on the i.MX6 and i.MX7.
The second cache flush have zero impact on the i.MX6, but this is really need for
the i.MX7D platform due to the L1 line-fill during the first dcache_flush.
And the second flush will not bring in the L1 dirty cache line due to the C bit is
clear now, which means the dcache is disabled.
