I didn't explicitly test, but was going by:
config ARM_L1_CACHE_SHIFT_6
bool
default y if CPU_V7
help
Setting ARM L1 cache line size to 64 Bytes.
config ARM_L1_CACHE_SHIFT_7
bool
help
Setting ARM L1 cache line size to 128 Bytes.
config ARM_L1_CACHE_SHIFT
int
default 7 if ARM_L1_CACHE_SHIFT_7
default 6 if ARM_L1_CACHE_SHIFT_6
default 5
and only L1_CACHE_SHIFT_7 gets selected by UNIPHIER and neither one is
accessible by menus.
I think you're technically correct that it's the size of L2 that matters
(or, specifically, the hardcoded value that the firmware is using on its
side for the fragments list handling. It overrides a cache-line-size DT
property with that number if present). However, I think L1==L2 cache
line size this should be a safe assumption for us.
Phil, any opinion?
