Currently we flush the entire dcache at boot within __cpu_setup, but
this is unnecessary as the booting protocol demands that the dcache is
invalid and off upon entering the kernel. The presence of the cache
flush only serves to hide bugs in bootloaders, and is not safe in the
presence of SMP.
In an SMP boot scenario the CPUs enter coherency outside of the kernel,
and the primary CPU enables its caches before bringing up secondary
CPUs. Therefore if any secondary CPU has an entry in its cache (in
violation of the boot protocol), the primary CPU might snoop it even if
the secondary CPU's cache is disabled. The boot-time cache flush only
serves to hide a firmware bug, and slows down a cpu boot unnecessarily.
This patch removes the unnecessary boot-time cache flush.

This patch adds support for DMA API cache maintenance on SoCs without
hardware device cache coherency.

Fix the function name of comment of __flush_dcache_area,
because __flush_dcache_area is the correct name. Also,
the missing variable 'size' is added to the comment.

The format of the lower 32-bits of the 64-bit operand to 'dc cisw' is
unchanged from ARMv7 architecture and the upper bits are RES0. This
implies that the 'way' field of the operand of 'dc cisw' occupies the
bit-positions [31 .. (32-A)]. Due to the use of 64-bit extended operands
to 'clz', the existing implementation of __flush_dcache_all is incorrectly
placing the 'way' field in the bit-positions [63 .. (64-A)].

The patch adds functionality required for cache maintenance. The AArch64
architecture mandates non-aliasing VIPT or PIPT D-cache and VIPT (may
have aliases) or ASID-tagged VIVT I-cache. Cache maintenance operations
are automatically broadcast in hardware between CPUs.
