Back to the case in hand.... Lorenzo just pointed out to me that the
finished in question (sh7372_do_idle_sysc) calls v7_flush_dcache_all, so
the louis stuff should be irrelevant. The problem may actually be that the
finisher disables the L2 cache prior to cleaning/invalidating it, which is
the opposite order to that described by the A8 TRM.

Guennadi -- can you try moving the kernel_flush call before the L2 disable
in sh7372_do_idle_sysc please?

Yes, this works too.

That's good to know. Please can you send a patch for that? The sequence
currently being used by the finisher *is* buggy, and should be fixed
independently of the louis stuff.

Well, the fix is yours, so, it should be "From: you." I can certainly send 
it just copying your description above, but I'd also need your Sob. 
Something like the below (feel free to improve the subject line and the 
description):

Subject: [PATCH] ARM: sh7372: fix cache clean / invalidate order

According to the Cortex A8 TRM the L2 cache should be first cleaned and 
then disabled. Fix the swapped order on sh7372.
