    ARM: mvebu: drop pointless check for coherency_base · 0b58725f
    Ard Biesheuvel authored
    The MMU off code path in ll_get_coherency_base() attempts to decide
    whether the coherency fabric is mapped by testing the value of
    coherency_base, which carries its virtual address if its mapped, and
    0x0 otherwise.
    
    However, what the code actually does is take the virtual address of
    the coherency_base symbol, and compare it with 0x0, which are never
    equal, and so the branch is never taken. In fact, with the MMU off,
    dereferencing the VA of coherency_base is not possible to begin with,
    nor can its value be relied upon with the MMU off since it is not
    cleaned to the Dcache as is done with coherency_phys_base in
    armada_370_coherency_init().
    
    Instead, the value of coherency_phys_base is returned, which results
    in the correct behavior since it will be 0x0 as well if the coherency
    fabric is not mapped, and it is accessible with the MMU off. So just
    drop the comparison and the branch.
