PATCH 1/1 efi_loader: Always flush in cache line size granularity

The cache line flush helpers only work properly when they get aligned start and end addresses. Round our flush range to cache line size. It's safe because we're guaranteed to flush within a single page which has the same cache attributes.

dragonboard410c_defconfig fails to build with this due to undefined CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE. Do we need to #ifdef here or is the dragonboard410c at fault for not defining it?

jetson-tk1_defconfig for instance builds fine with this patch.

Andreas

Some USB drivers use it unconditionally, but I guess the dragonboard401c doesn't enable USB.

Let me come up with a more compatible version.

This version is fine, dragonboard needs fixing. Every single board must define CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE .

(and maybe a few more, toolchain here craps out due to libgcc problems), and we've talked about this before too I think. The right long term answer is to borrow the logic of arch/arm/mm/Kconfig and asm/cache.h from the kernel to get the right size, always. For the short term, we'll just work-around it.

I thought we fixed these cache issues already, but that was on v7 only, dang. Now it is v4/v5 which broke.
