At least the iMX6 boot rom seems to jump into barebox with a non invalidated d-cache which causes data corruption when v7_mmu_cache_flush() executed by arm_early_mmu_cache_flush() overrides stack or other valid data. That's why the cache must be invalided for this processors explicitly (e.g. in barebox_arm_reset_vector()). Operation differs from flush only in one instruction so that patch modifies the existing v7_mmu_cache_flush() function slightly by adding an optional argument.
