ARM: 8482/1: l2x0: make it possible to disable outer sync from DT
According to commit 2503a5ec "ARM: 6201/1: RealView: Do not use outer_sync() on ARM11MPCore boards with L220" Some PB11MPCore RealView core tiles have broken outer_sync. We got rid of the custom barriers from the machine by disabling outer sync, but that was just for the boardfile case. We have to be able to do the same in the device tree case. Since __l2c_init() is cloning and copying the L2C vtable, we pass an argument to this function to optionally numb the outer sync operation if desired, before initializing the cache. After this we can set up the cache correctly on the RealView PB11MPCore. This was tested on a PB11MPCore known to have the issue. Before this, spurious crashes would occur if we try to set up the cache properly, after this it boots rock solid.
