Various U-Boot adoptions/extensions to MTD/NAND/UBI did not take buffer alignment into account which led to failures of the following form:

ERROR: v7_dcache_inval_range - start address is not aligned - 0x1f7f0108 ERROR: v7_dcache_inval_range - stop address is not aligned - 0x1f7f1108

Signed-off-by: Marcel Ziswiler marcel.ziswiler@toradex.com Reviewed-by: Simon Glass sjg@chromium.org Acked-by: Scott Wood scottwood@freescale.com --- Changes in v6: fix assembler build breakage caused by including regular header file like malloc.h by wrapping my wrapper in __ASSEMBLY__ Changes in v5: split up into separate patches to be picked up by the various subsystem maintainers as suggested by Marek Changes in v4: move wrapper to common.h as suggested by Scott Changes in v3: introduce malloc_cache_aligned() as suggested by Scott Changes in v2: run it through checkpatch.pl and fix long lines
