[PATCH 74/97] ARM: l2c: realview: improve commentry about the L2 cache requirements

Russell King rmk+kernel at arm.linux.org.uk
Mon Apr 28 12:32:30 PDT 2014


Add better commentry about the L2 cache requirements on these platforms.
Unfortunately, the auxiliary control register is not pre-set to indicate
the correct cache parameters, so we have to manually program these.
