Update the initial value of Domain Access Control Register (DACR)
and set by default the access permission to client (DACR_Dn_CLIENT = 1U)
for each of the 16 domains and no more to all-supervisor
(DACR_Dn_MANAGER = 3U).
This patch allows to activate the domain checking in MMU against the
permission bits in the translation tables and avoids prefetching issue
on ARMv7 [1].
Today it was already done for OMAP2 architecture
./arch/arm/mach-omap2/omap-cache.c::arm_init_domains
introduced by commit de63ac278cba ("ARM: mmu: Set domain permissions
to client access") which fixes lot of speculative prefetch aborts seen
on OMAP5 secure devices.
