[ARM] 5489/1: ARM errata: Data written to the L2 cache can be overwritten with stale data
This patch is a workaround for the 460075 Cortex-A8 (r2p0) erratum. It configures the L2 cache auxiliary control register so that the Write Allocate mode for the L2 cache is disabled. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

+ help
+ This option enables the workaround for the 460075 Cortex-A8 (r2p0)
+ erratum. Any asynchronous access to the L2 cache may encounter a
+ situation in which recent store transactions to the L2 cache are lost
+ and overwritten with stale memory contents from external memory. The
+ workaround disables the write-allocate mode for the L2 cache via the
+ ACTLR register. Note that setting specific bits in the ACTLR register
+ may not be available in non-secure mode.
