[U-Boot] [PATCH] Fix wrong loop bound in flush_cache() when "size" is zero.

The issue is found when calling flush_cache() with zero "size" argument. The bound of loop is miscalculated in this case and flush_cache() enters a wrong flushing loop. To fix this issue I skipped the operations when "size" is found to be zero.

Please indent with tabs, not spaces. Also, doesn't this code generate warning (code before declarations)?
unsigned long lsize = CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE; unsigned long addr = start_addr& ~(lsize - 1); unsigned long aend = (start_addr + size - 1)& ~(lsize - 1);

Hi Sergei, thanks for your comments. I will submit the patch v2.

Only with -Wdeclaration-after-statement, which U-boot doesn't set.
