Subject: [PATCH v2] powerpc/setup_64: Set cache-line-size based on cache-block-size

If {i,d}-cache-block-size is set and {i,d}-cache-line-size is not, use
the block-size value for both. Per the devicetree spec cache-line-size
is only needed if it differs from the block size.

It looks as though the bsizep = lsizep is not required per the spec but it's
probably safer to retain it.

Changes in v2:
- Scott pointed out that u-boot should be filling in the cache properties
  (which it does). But it does not specify a cache-line-size because it
  provides a cache-block-size and the spec says you don't have to if they are
  the same. So the error is in the parsing not in the devicetree itself.
