Below is the updated version which should remove any
OMAP dependency on these errata's. Attached same.

Subject: [v2 PATCH 3/5] ARM: l2x0: Errata fix for flush by Way operation
can cause data corruption

PL310 implements the Clean & Invalidate by Way L2 cache maintenance
operation (offset 0x7FC). This operation runs in background so that
PL310 can handle normal accesses while it is in progress. Under very
rare circumstances, due to this erratum, write data can be lost when
PL310 treats a cacheable write transaction during a Clean & Invalidate
by Way operation.

Workaround:
Disable Write-Back and Cache Linefill (Debug Control Register)
Clean & Invalidate by Way (0x7FC)
Re-enable Write-Back and Cache Linefill (Debug Control Register)
