Here's the revision mask fix - with the existing code, the revision checks
are all useless since they would all pass irrespective of the actual
revision.  (Had the L2C series been better tested rather than being largely
ignored, this may have been noticed before it was merged...)  Anyway, what
isn't clear from Sekhar's message is which revision L2C310 is in the AM437x.

Subject: [PATCH] ARM: l2c: fix revision checking

The revision checking in l2c310_enable() was not correct; we were
masking the part number rather than the revision number.  Fix this
to use the correct macro.
