The cache invalidation code in v7_invalidate_l1 can be tweaked to re-read the associativity from CCSIDR, and keep the way identifier component in a single register that is assigned in the outer loop. This way, we need 2 registers less. Given that the number of sets is typically much larger than the associativity, rearrange the code so that the outer loop has the fewer number of iterations, ensuring that the re-read of CCSIDR only occurs a handful of times in practice. Fix the whitespace while at it, and update the comment to indicate that this code is no longer a clone of anything else.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
