Hi,
Can I inquire please what has happened with this patch series? Will it be applied? I have done some basic testing here on Tegra2 and it appears to work.
Regards, Simon

With D-cache and MMU enabled for ARM in u-boot it becomes imperative to support a minimal set of cache maintenance operations and necessary initializations before enabling MMU.
This series of patches attempt to do the following for armv7:
- Necessary initialization sequence before enabling MMU that includes
invalidation of TLB, data caches, branch predictor array etc.
- Framework for supporting SOC specific outer caches in a generic manner
(using a structure of function pointers - inspired by the Linux implementation)
- Generic armv7 cache maintenance operations for caches known to the CPU
- Support for ARM PL310 L2 cache controller used in OMAP4
- Cleanup of the cleanup_before_linux() function
- Adapting all armv7 SOCs to use the new framework and removing
duplicated code
Testing:
- Extensive testing on OMAP4430SDP and OMAP3430SDP by creating coherency
issues and solving them using the maintenance routines - Eg: memfill a region of memory with a known pattern - Invalidate the region - Read back and compare the region with the original pattern - If match fails it means that invalidate is successful - Now add a flush call just before the invalidate - If match succeeds it means that flush was successful - Outer caches were tested with experiments involving making the function pointers NULL
- Kernel booting on OMAP4430SDP and OMAP3430SDP
Note: v2 has been tested only on OMAP4430SDP
v2:
- Pointer based callback mechanism for outer cache operations
changed to a weakly linked functions.
- Change -march=armv7-a back to armv5
- Moved utility macros out of armv7.h
- Added documentation for new CONFIG options.
- Changed implementation of log2n to not use CLZ instruction as armv4
doesn't support this instruction and newly added Tegra2 uses -march=armv4
- Blank line after local variable declarations - fixed globally
- Explicitly added an empty flush_cache() under
#ifdef CONFIG_SYS_NO_DCACHE
- Removed the print inside the weakly linked stub function -
__arm_init_before_mmu
- Fixed signature of flush_cache in cache.c
- More descriptive commit message for the PL310 support patch
- C struct for PL310 register accesses
- Fixed white space issues
