Subject: [35/89] ARM: 7296/1: proc-v7.S: remove HARVARD_CACHE preprocessor guards

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

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

From: Will Deacon <will.deacon@....com>

commit 612539e81f655f6ac73c7af1da8701c1ee618aee upstream.

On v7, we use the same cache maintenance instructions for data lines
as for unified lines. This was not the case for v6, where HARVARD_CACHE
was defined to indicate the L1 cache topology.

This patch removes the erroneous compile-time check for HARVARD_CACHE in
proc-v7.S, ensuring that we perform I-side invalidation at boot.
