This patchset enables dcache support for Raspberry Pi 1.
First the cache support code for arm1136 and 1176 was merged.
CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE is defined as 32 bytes which is used as alignment
for mailbox buffer allocations.
Then rpi mailbox code has now dcache flush for writing the mailbox request and
a dcache invalidation for receiving the mailbox answer.
Finally the CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF switch got removed from rpi1 config. It is
still set for rpi2 config.
dcache supprt increases the MMC read performance on RPI 1 from 5,4 MiB/s to
12.3 MiB/s.
This was tested by the following command:
> fatload mmc 0:1 ${kernel_addr_r} zImage
Changes in v2:
* Merge arm1136/1176 cache code
* Use cacheline size as mailbox buffer alignment
* Flush/invalidate mailbox buffer up to cacheline size
Alexander Stein (6):
arm1136: Remove dead code
arm1136/arm1176: Merge cache handling code
ARM: bcm283x: Define CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE
ARM: bcm283x: Allocate all mailbox buffers cacheline aligned
arm/mach-bcm283x/mbox: Flush and invalidate dcache when using fw
mailbox
arm/rpi: Enable dcache
