Yes it does fix the issue:

with Ard's fix applied to this test branch:

+clang +Nick

It's worth mentioning that the issue only happens with kernels
built with Clang.  As you can see there are several other arm
platforms failing with clang-11 builds but booting fine with
gcc-8:
My gut feeling is that it isn't Clang specific - it's likely down to
the exact code/data placement, how things end up during decompression,
and exactly what state the cache ends up in.

That certainly was the case with the original regression.
Agreed.

So given that my queued fix turns this

cache_clean
cache_off

into this

cache_off
cache_clean

for v7 only, and considering that turning this into

cache_clean
cache_off
cache_clean

(as the diff tested by Guillaume does) fixes the reported issue, it
seems like the safest option to me at this point.

Reverting both patches, one of which has been in mainline since v5.7,
seems unwise to me at this point in the cycle.
