+       bool "ARM errata: A data cache maintenance operation which aborts, might lead to deadlock"
+       depends on CPU_V7
+       help
+         This option enables the workaround for the 775420 Cortex-A9 (r2p2,
+         r2p6,r2p8,r2p10,r3p0) erratum. In case a date cache maintenance
+         operation aborts with MMU exception, it might cause the processor
+         deadlock. This workaround puts DSB before executing ISB at the
+         beginning of the abort exception handler.
