BTW, for some bits you defined macros while others are just immediate
values. Just a cosmetic inconsistency (I would have preferred to use
either macros or just immediate values).
Oh yes indeed: I made some change after Russell comments. But I should
have review the whole code to notice it. If I didn't have time to change
the code before the merge, I will fix it for the v3.8-rc1

Any chance that these could be set by the firmware prior to starting
the kernel? We don't have any guidance for Linux here but longer term
it seems to cause problems (i.e. you add some secure layer in a new
CPU version).
I will ask to Marvell engineers.

However I hope it won't be show stopper for merging this code in 3.8.
This patch set was released 7 weeks ago, so would have though there was
a lot of time to raise the issue related to this code.
It shouldn't prevent the code being merged as we don't have clear
requirement in Linux for this. But it would be good practice to push
some sane defaults to the firmware. For example you set some option like
L1 replacement which is optimal for your platform. Later you put the
same CPU on a different SoC which may have different optimal value.
There is no way in proc-v7.S to detect the SoC.
OK I see your point. At this stage that would imply to change the bootloader
already deployed. I don't know how it will be easy to do it quickly. So
I am not sure that we can change it immediately, but maybe for future release.
However I still wait for more feedback on this subject for Marvell.
Otherwise the patch looks fine to me.

Thanks a lot!
