This is an updated patchset, which intends to add support for L2 cache
on Exynos4 SoCs on boards running under secure firmware, which requires
certain initialization steps to be done with help of firmware, as
selected registers are writable only from secure mode.

First four patches extend existing support for secure write in L2C driver
to account for design of secure firmware running on Exynos. Namely:
 1) direct read access to certain registers is needed on Exynos, because
    secure firmware calls set several registers at once,
 2) not all boards are running secure firmware, so .write_sec callback
    needs to be installed in Exynos firmware ops initialization code,
 3) write access to {DATA,TAG}_LATENCY_CTRL registers fron non-secure world
    is not allowed and so must use l2c_write_sec as well,
 4) on certain boards, default value of prefetch register is incorrect
    and must be overridden at L2C initialization.
For boards running with firmware that provides access to individual
L2C registers this series should introduce no functional changes. However
since the driver is widely used on other platforms I'd like to kindly ask
any interested people for testing.

Further three patches add implementation of .write_sec and .configure
callbacks for Exynos secure firmware and necessary DT nodes to enable
L2 cache.

Changes in this version tested on Exynos4412-based TRATS2 and OdroidU3+
boards (both with secure firmware). There should be no functional change
for Exynos boards running without secure firmware. I do not have access
to affected non-Exynos boards, so I could not test on them.
So, I applied this series, and now I get a conflicts between my tree and
arm-soc for:

arch/arm/mach-exynos/firmware.c
arch/arm/mach-exynos/sleep.S

So, I'm going to un-stage the exynos bits, and we'll have to work out
some way to handle those.
