ARM: Improve the L2 cache performance when PL310 is used
With this L2 cache controller, the cache maintenance by PA and sync operations are atomic and do not require a "wait" loop. This patch conditionally defines the cache_wait() function. Since L2x0 cache controllers do not work with ARMv7 CPUs, the patch automatically enables CACHE_PL310 when only CPU_V7 is defined. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>
