Without this dcache_flush the updated bootcounter may not be saved to its location.
This was detected on an iMX.6 platform using the OCRAM (internal SRAM) as bootcounter storage area. And issuing "reset" from within U-Boot cause the bootcounter to stay on its initial value.

OK, this breaks some platforms: powerpc: + TQM850L +(TQM850L) drivers/built-in.o: In function `bootcount_store': +(TQM850L) build/../drivers/bootcount/bootcount.c:64: undefined reference to `flush_dcache_range' +(TQM850L) make[1]: *** [u-boot] Error 1 +(TQM850L) make: *** [sub-make] Error 2
We'll see how many others have the same problem soon and then I'll decide on nuking the old platforms of holding off on this change.
Aside from the TQM 8xx family that Wolfgang owns we have mgcoge and mgcoge3ne also breaking from this (http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/448849/) change. Wolfgang, Holger, how do you want to proceed? We either need cache operations or dropping bootcount from the platforms or dropping the platforms.
Frankly, after looking at most of arch/powerpc/cpu/*/cache.c I suspect 8xx and 83xx just need the dummy files copied over.
OK, I went and poked at going one direction on this and then dug into the higher level problem more. PowerPC _needs_ the current kernel's arch/powerpc/kernel/misc_32.S relevant cache functions ported over for everyone and we should kill the dummy functions we have today. To try and encourage some folks to do this I'm going to drop this bootcount patch for now.
