Since we now automatically enable early BRESP in core L2C-310 code when
we detect a Cortex-A9, we don't need platforms/SoCs to set this bit
explicitly.  Instead, they should seek to preserve the value of bit 30
in the auxiliary control register.

I would prefer if this patch was broken out into individual patches
for each board or SoC file and that they were then picked up
by their respective platform maintainers.

Likewise for patch 66/97. Although it is only for shmobile
I would prefer it broken out.

Oh fuck that.

Okay, I'm dropping the whole patch set right now and forgetting the whole
damned thing.  The L2 cache code can damned well stay as it is and remain
an unmaintainable mess.

FWIW, there are an awful lot of people, myself included, who do care
that you've done this work. It is 100% okay for you to say "no" to
requests to split things up because of the complexity of the series.

I really hope you're reconsider and not give up on this series.
