Subject: [ 25/76] ARM: 7541/1: Add ARM ERRATA 775420 workaround

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

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

From: Simon Horman <horms@...ge.net.au>

commit 7253b85cc62d6ff84143d96fe6cd54f73736f4d7 upstream.

arm: Add ARM ERRATA 775420 workaround

Workaround for the 775420 Cortex-A9 (r2p2, r2p6,r2p8,r2p10,r3p0) erratum.
In case a date cache maintenance operation aborts with MMU exception, it
might cause the processor to deadlock. This workaround puts DSB before
executing ISB if an abort may occur on cache maintenance.

Based on work by Kouei Abe and feedback from Catalin Marinas.
