Making CACHE_L2X0 depend on (huge list of MACH_ and ARCH_ configs)
is bothersome to maintain and likely to lead to merge conflicts.

This patch moves the knowledge of which platforms have a L2x0 or
PL310 cache controller to the individual machines.  To enable this,
a new HAVE_L2X0_L2CC config option is introduced to allow machines
to indicate that they have such a cache controller independently of
each other.

Boards/SoCs which cannot reliably operate without the L2 cache
controller support should select is directly from their own
Kconfigs instead.  This applies to some TrustZone-enabled boards
where Linux runs in the Normal World.

Changes since v1:

v3: no change (patch reposted as part of an extended series)

v2: Respond to issues raised by Rob Herring:

    Get config dependencies into something resembling alphabetical
    order.
    
    Depend directly on CACHE_L2X0 from boards which run Linux in the
    Normal World and hence where the L2CC can't be turned off by Linux.
    Currently done for OMAP4, EXYNOS4.
    
    Get rid of redundant "default n" for HAVE_L2X0_L2CC

Doesn't this need to select HAVE_L2X0_L2CC as well?

Do you know enough about this to make L2 cache support optional on this SoC?

Probably not -- due to a moment of madness, it looks like I somehow
mistranslated "highbank" as "exynos4".

For highbank, Rob Herring thinks that direct selection of CACHE_L2X0 is
needed [1].

I will re-roll the patch to fix this.


This may apply to other platforms too; but if they are not already
selecting CACHE_L2X0 directly, this series will make the situation no
worse.

I've just asked Rob this, but you may have a view --

Should we avoid changing any actual behaviour in this patch?

If so then yes, we should add HAVE_L2X0_L2CC for everything previously
depended on by CACHE_L2X0.

If this is actually wrong, and not building the L2x0 support for certain
boards doesn't make sense (as seems to be the case for some boards),
then it would be up to those boards' maintainers to fix that in
subsequent patches if they care about it.

Alternatively, I could add the extra "select CACHE_L2X0" modifications
in a separate patch and append it to the series (contingent of Acks from
the relevant maintainers).  Either route seems preferable to doing those
changes in a patch which claims just to be refactoring.

Well, you have CACHE_L2X0 depending on HAVE_L2X0_L2CC.  Selecting
CACHE_L2X0 without HAVE_L2X0_L2CC being selected will make Kconfig
produce a message about unmet dependencies.

The other solution to this is:

config CACHE_L2X0
	bool "Enable the L2x0 outer cache controller" if HAVE_L2X0_L2CC

and I think that's more in keeping with what Rob mentioned in his
message - it makes this a non-user selectable option unless
HAVE_L2X0_L2CC is enabled.

However, in this case it would be more sensible to name the option
'MIGHT_HAVE_CACHE_L2X0'.  (btw, please name the option after the
option it relates to.)

We still want CACHE_L2X0 to default to y even in the
MIGHT_HAVE_CACHE_L2X0 case, since it is not usually desirable to turn it
off except for debugging purposes.

Would the correct thing be:

config CACHE_L2X0
	bool "Enable the L2x0 outer cache controller" if MIGHT_HAVE_CACHE_L2X0
	default MIGHT_HAVE_CACHE_L2X0

That way, select CACHE_L2X0=y, MIGHT_HAVE_CACHE_L2X0=y and both=y will
all produce sensible results, if I understand correctly how this works.

...or is there a better way?


In the meantime, I will separate the pure refactoring from the other
changes.

Cheers

I think that's a good compromise (and improvement).
