The i.MX6 Quad SoC will work without the l2x0 L2 cache controller
support built into the kernel, so this patch removes the dependency
on CACHE_L2X0 and selects MIGHT_HAVE_CACHE_L2X0 instead.

This makes the l2x0 support optional, so that it can be turned off
when desired for debugging purposes etc.

Thanks to Shawn Guo for this suggestion. [1]

Hi Dave,

Sorry for that I did not look into previous post to point it out.

The option SOC_IMX6Q is only available when ARCH_IMX_V6_V7 is selected.
Since MIGHT_HAVE_CACHE_L2X0 has been selected by ARCH_IMX_V6_V7 in
patch #1, this line seems redundant here.

Shawn

Would it be better keep this one and remove patch #1 one? imx5 doesn't have
l2x0.

Do you mean to remove MIGHT_HAVE_CACHE_L2X0 from ARCH_IMX_V6_V7, and select
it only from SOC_IMX6Q?

Yes, I think it's more precise. Shawn?

No.

* imx5 hardware does have L2, and it's just not set up in the kernel
  (I do not know why).
* Currently, ARCH_IMX_V6_V7 only covers imx3 and imx6, and both are
  calling l2x0 init function to set L2 up.
* When we merge mach-mx5 into mach-imx to have ARCH_IMX_V6_V7 cover
  imx3, imx5 and imx6, there is no reason for us to not set L2 up for
  imx5 too.

So MIGHT_HAVE_CACHE_L2X0 really should be selected by ARCH_IMX_V6_V7.

mx5/cortex-a8 don't use L2X0. But that's ok. MIGHT_HAVE_CACHE_L2X0 is just a hint.
Please Shawn's suggestion.

OK, my local series has what I believe to be the correct change;
I will repost based on that.
