Russell King 02b4e2756e ARM: v7 setup function should invalidate L1 cache
All ARMv5 and older CPUs invalidate their caches in the early assembly
setup function, prior to enabling the MMU.  This is because the L1
cache should not contain any data relevant to the execution of the
kernel at this point; all data should have been flushed out to memory.

This requirement should also be true for ARMv6 and ARMv7 CPUs - indeed,
these typically do not search their caches when caching is disabled (as
it needs to be when the MMU is disabled) so this change should be safe.

ARMv7 allows there to be CPUs which search their caches while caching is
disabled, and it's permitted that the cache is uninitialised at boot;
for these, the architecture reference manual requires that an
implementation specific code sequence is used immediately after reset
to ensure that the cache is placed into a sane state.  Such
functionality is definitely outside the remit of the Linux kernel, and
must be done by the SoC's firmware before _any_ CPU gets to the Linux
kernel.

Changing the data cache clean+invalidate to a mere invalidate allows us
to get rid of a lot of platform specific hacks around this issue for
their secondary CPU bringup paths - some of which were buggy.

Kever Yang 3ee851e212 ARM: rockchip: add basic smp support for rk3288
This patch add basic rk3288 smp support.

Only cortex-A9 need invalid L1, A7/A12/A15/A17 should not invalid L1, since
for A7/A12/A15, the invalidation would be taken as clean and invalidate.

If you use the software manual invalidation instead of hardware invalidation
(assert l1/l2rstdisable during reset) after reset, there is tiny change that
some cachelines would be in dirty and valid state after reset(since the ram
content would be random value after reset), then the unexpected clean might
lead to system crash.

It is a known issue for the A12/A17 MPCore multiprocessor that the active
processors might be stalled when the individual processor is powered down,
we can avoid this prolbem by softreset the processor before power it down.

Heiko Stuebner a7a2b3118b ARM: rockchip: add smp bringup code
This adds the necessary smp-operations and startup code to use
additional cores on Rockchip SoCs.

We currently hog the power management unit in the smp code, as it is
necessary to control the power to the cpu core and nothing else is
currently using it, so a generic implementation can be done later.
