Apparently the second save in __l2c_init() is not needed and it should 
have been removed. However it might be a good idea to actually do second 
save in l2c_enable() after l2c_configure() so that the values actually 
permitted by hardware and/or secure firmware are stored.

l2c310_init_fns needs to be updated indeed.

However I'm not sure about your concern about using l2x0_data before 
kmemdup(). I don't see any code potentially doing this.

Best regards,
Tomasz
