All three patches looks reasonable to me, but now that I looked at
the function, I wonder if we could do another cleanup on top and
not call this function for imx35 at all but instead set the
.l2c_aux_val/.l2c_aux_mask fields in its machine descriptor.

The call to l2x0_of_init(0, ~0) seems to be the only thing we
do on imx35 (where arm,pl310-cache is not present), and the kernel
can do it automatically.
