Add empty version of l2x0_of_init for when CONFIG_CACHE_L2X0 is not selected.

Thanks.

it seems most people use
"
#ifdef CONFIG_CACHE_L2X0
...
l2x0 related codes
...
#endif
"
or
"
obj-$(CONFIG_CACHE_L2X0) += xxx-l2x0.o
"

to avoid l2x0 related codes compiled and linked into kernel.

but this patch provides another option. it is not bad too.

The difference with existing platforms and l2x0_init is the ioremap or
static mapping and latency register setup for pl310 is outside the
function, so you still need an ifdef around all that. With l2x0_of_init,
all the setup is done inside the function, so having an empty version is
useful.
