Hi Jason,

This is looking good. Some pedantry:

I think the comment can stay in the code as it's actually true now!

These declarations should probably be at the top of the function. Actually,
you could just assign to l2x0_way_mask directly. Also, l2x0.c appears to use
the __u32 datatype instead of uint32_t or u32, so it's probably best just to
follow suit.

As Russell pointed out, it would be helpful to print out a message here [instead
of "L2X0 cache controller enabled"], particularly if the chip is unknown and we
assume an 8-way configuration. Printing out the part, number of ways and perhaps
the auxiliary ctrl register would be useful.

Cheers,
