[ARM] 5490/1: ARM errata: Processor deadlock when a false hazard is created
This patch adds a workaround for the 458693 Cortex-A8 (r2p0) erratum. It sets the corresponding bits in the auxiliary control register so that the PLD instruction becomes a NOP. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

+ help
+ This option enables the workaround for the 458693 Cortex-A8 (r2p0)
+ erratum. For very specific sequences of memory operations, it is
+ possible for a hazard condition intended for a cache line to instead
+ be incorrectly associated with a different cache line. This false
+ hazard might then cause a processor deadlock. The workaround enables
+ the L1 caching of the NEON accesses and disables the PLD instruction
+ in the ACTLR register. Note that setting specific bits in the ACTLR
+ register may not be available in non-secure mode.
