Cache-sram does not have any device tree entry since it is not a  
hardware as such. Putting it under chosen can be another option.
I think, Scott (cc'ed) was of the opinion that since 32b
base address
quoted
support is missing; so there is no point in moving this
address to the
quoted
command line and .config should be okay for now for it.
I don't know what you mean by "32b base address support is  
missing".  I have no objection to putting it on the command line.
It was a typo, it should be missing 36b address support. Since the
kernel did not run under different environment (i.e 32b / 36b base  
address); so
it was decided that .config may be okay for this.
The kernel *will* run with a 36-bit address map even if some of our  
drivers don't support it right at the moment -- so we should be  
planning for it.
Not only that but I'd like to move any future parts to only support a  
36-bit memory map.
