ARM: l2c: Refactor the driver to use commit-like interface
Certain implementations of secure hypervisors (namely the one found on
Samsung Exynos-based boards) do not provide access to individual L2C
registers. This makes the .write_sec()-based interface
insufficient and
provoking ugly hacks.
This patch is first step to make the driver not rely on
availability of
writes to individual registers. This is achieved by refactoring the
driver to use a commit-like operation scheme: all register values are
prepared first and stored in an instance of l2x0_regs struct and
then a
single callback is responsible to flush those values to the hardware.
