The L2 cache controller(PL310) version on the i.MX6D/Q is r3p1-50rel0
The L2 cache controller(PL310) version on the i.MX6DL/SOLO/SL is r3p2
But according to ARM PL310 errata: 752271
ID: 752271: Double linefill feature can cause data corruption
Fault Status: Present in: r3p0, r3p1, r3p1-50rel0. Fixed in r3p2
Workaround: The only workaround to this erratum is to disable the
double linefill feature. This is the default behavior.

without this patch, you will meet the following error when run the
memtester application at: http://pyropus.ca/software/memtester/

V2:
- disable the L2 doulbe linefill explicitly on i.MX6Q by using &= mask
- using the cpu_is_imx6q() instead of checking through DT

Since you sent this patch I was wondering why you touch Bit 23, too.

Having access to the manual, now (CoreLinkā„¢ Level 2 Cache Controller
L2C-310 Revision: r3p3 ARM DDI 0246H (ID080112)) it states on page 2-39 
(section Double linefill issuing):

"You can control this feature (the double linefill) using Bits 30, 27, 
and 23 of the Prefetch Control Register. Bit 23, and Bit 27 are only 
used if you set Bit 30 HIGH."

I.e. to my understanding

val &= ~(1 << 30);

should be sufficient here?

Best regards

Dirk
