Subject: [PATCH 3.12 015/118] ARM: 7917/1: cacheflush: correctly limit range of memory region being flushed

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jon Medhurst <tixy@...aro.org>

commit b31459adeab018b297541e288ac88873011da82a upstream.

The __do_cache_op function operates with a 'chunk' size of one page
but fails to limit the size of the final chunk so as to not exceed
the specified memory region. Fix this.
