Hi Dave,

Sorry for that I did not look into previous post to point it out.

The i.MX6 Quad SoC will work without the l2x0 L2 cache controller
support built into the kernel, so this patch removes the dependency
on CACHE_L2X0 and selects MIGHT_HAVE_CACHE_L2X0 instead.

This makes the l2x0 support optional, so that it can be turned off
when desired for debugging purposes etc.

Thanks to Shawn Guo for this suggestion. [1]

The option SOC_IMX6Q is only available when ARCH_IMX_V6_V7 is selected.
Since MIGHT_HAVE_CACHE_L2X0 has been selected by ARCH_IMX_V6_V7 in
patch #1, this line seems redundant here.
Would it be better keep this one and remove patch #1 one? imx5 doesn't have
l2x0.
Do you mean to remove MIGHT_HAVE_CACHE_L2X0 from ARCH_IMX_V6_V7, and select
it only from SOC_IMX6Q?
Yes, I think it's more precise. Shawn?
