even with this change, l2c still tries to write to power control
register, at least on AM437x. Looking a little deeper here, AM437x
identifies itself as l2c PL310 r3p3, which should have power control
register, but aparentely there's no way to write that register. I'll
file a bug to our ROM team, but we will certainly need a way to
workaround this inside omap4-common.c
