Stephen,

Thanks for review.

Yes, we don't need it. Because there are HW reset value for it. We don't
need to configure it.

OK. Will remove the label.

No. We need this before the "powered-down" cpuidle support. Because the
L2 init function didn't help to hook the resume API to "outer_cache_fns"
interface currently. If we don't apply this before the "powered-down"
cpuidle, we will lost L2 support after one successful powered-down
cpuidle sequence.

Thanks,
Joseph
