Humm, yes, good point.

None of the _defconfig's ever turn on
CACHE_FEROCEON_L2_WRITETHROUGH. I also did a quick google and could
not find any usage of it.

So i see two options:

1) Remove the wr-override from the DT binding and use
CACHE_FEROCEON_L2_WRITETHROUGH.

2) Remove CACHE_FEROCEON_L2_WRITETHROUGH and make proc-feroceon.S do
the right thing at runtime.

I suspect i will go for 1), it is simpler.

  Thanks
