Well, what l2c310_configure() does after my series is just writing the registers. If they cannot be written normally (without some tricks such as reading back other registers) then IMHO a separate function should be provided. This is becomes possible after patch 3/8 (ARM: l2c: Add interface to ask hypervisor to configure L2C) and what is used on Exynos which also updates multiple registers in single SMC calls. You can find an example of use in patch 6/8 (ARM: EXYNOS: Add .write_sec outer cache callback for L2C-310). What's even more interesting is that approaches similar to the one currently used on OMAP had been NAKed, when proposed for Exynos and this is why we have the solution proposed by my patches. Note that .write_sec() callback is still used for L2X0_CTRL and L2X0_DEBUG_CTRL registers, because there might be a need to write them separately (e.g. to disable the controller and to perform debug operations/workarounds when the controller is already enabled).
