OMAP3: workaround for ARM Cortex-A8 erratum 725233
725233: PLD instructions executed with PLD data forwarding
enabled can result in a processor deadlock
This deadlock can happen when NEON load instructions are used together
with cache preload instructions (PLD). The problematic conditions
can be triggered in-the-wild by NEON optimized functions from pixman
library (http://cgit.freedesktop.org/pixman), which perform dynamic
adjustment of prefetch distance.
The workaround disables PLD data forwarding by setting PLD_FWD bit
in L2 Cache Auxiliary Control Register as recommended in ARM Cortex-A8
errata list.
The deadlock can only happen on r1pX revisions of Cortex-A8 (used in
OMAP34xx/OMAP35xx). Performance impact of the workaround is practically
non-existant.
