These platforms don't include dcache support. Define CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF
so that functions don't try to call non-existent routines like
flush_dcache_range().

Is that needed? Why not fix PXA by defining stub cache routines ?

Adding stubs sounds more like a work-around than disabling support
that we won't have to me.

Yes, but then, the stubs will be optimized out.

I see using CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF being abused here. Every platform should 
implement at least cache operations stubs, then it'd be valid to use 
CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF to indicate the cache shall always be off. But the code 
would at least compile and work with CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF enabled or disabled.

We might eventually even be able to weed out this CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF option.

Best regards,
Marek Vasut

Is that the final word? If so, Tom Warren should be able to pull this
through. If not, Marek are you going to send a patch to replace this
patch? If that is coming soon, I suggest we wait a few days. If not,
then we can perhaps take this patch and then Marek can clean up later.

Simon

Just apply this. PXA is mostly dead anyway.
