Linus Walleij 36f46d6d5c ARM: 8482/1: l2x0: make it possible to disable outer sync from DT
According to commit 2503a5ecd8
"ARM: 6201/1: RealView: Do not use outer_sync() on ARM11MPCore
boards with L220" Some PB11MPCore RealView core tiles have broken
outer_sync.

We got rid of the custom barriers from the machine by disabling
outer sync, but that was just for the boardfile case. We have
to be able to do the same in the device tree case.

Since __l2c_init() is cloning and copying the L2C vtable,
we pass an argument to this function to optionally numb
the outer sync operation if desired, before initializing
the cache.

After this we can set up the cache correctly on the RealView
PB11MPCore. This was tested on a PB11MPCore known to have the
issue. Before this, spurious crashes would occur if we try to
set up the cache properly, after this it boots rock solid.
