Hi,

this simple series improve handling of RAC and CBR address and try to
upstream these simple patch we have in OpenWrt for a while.

The first patch fix a straight kernel panic where some Bootloader might
enable RAC but misconfigure the CBR address. The current logic only
check if RAC is enabled but doesn't verify if the CBR address is usable.

The DMA sync function cause a kernel panic for invalid write. (as CBR is
0 or something like 0xa)

The second is preparation for making the CBR address configurable in DT.
Since this address doesn't change, we can cache it and reference it with
a local variable instead of calling the register to access the value.

The 4th patch make it configurable with 2 DT property, one to actually
set the reg and the other to force set it.

The first property is used when CBR is set to 0. The second property is
to force it if the Bootloader sets it to something wrong.

If the CBR value is not 0 and is not forced with the second property a
WARN is printed and the DT value is ignored.

The 4th patch enable RAC on BMIPS4350.

These has been tested on BCM6358 (HG556a) and BCM6368 (VH4032N) and
reported correct functionality.

Changes v3:
- Drop broken-cbr-reg property
- Fix anyOf+const with enum
Changes v2:
- Prefix brcm vendor in the added property
- Drop last patch (cpu switch from DMA sync)
- Validate CBR addr from DT to be outside DRAM
- Reduce indentation in DT CBR check
- Reduce delta and use local variable for CBR where possible
- Fix and improve typo and spelling mistake
- Use 0xf instead of 0xa for BCM6358 RAC enable

Rework the handling of the CBR address and cache it. This address
doesn't change and can be cached instead of reading the register every
time.

This is in preparation of permitting to tweak the CBR address in DT with
broken SoC or bootloader.

Document brcm,bmips-cbr-reg property.

Some SoC suffer from a BUG where read_c0_brcm_cbr() might return 0
if called from TP1. The CBR address is always the same on the SoC
hence it can be provided in DT to handle broken case where bootloader
doesn't init it or SMP where read_c0_brcm_cbr() returns 0 from TP1.

Usage of this property is to give an address also in these broken
configuration/bootloader.

Add support to provide CBR address from DT to handle broken
SoC/Bootloader that doesn't correctly init it. This permits to use the
RAC flush even in these condition.

To provide a CBR address from DT, the property "brcm,bmips-cbr-reg"
needs to be set in the "cpus" node. On DT init, this property presence
will be checked and will set the bmips_cbr_addr value accordingly. Also
bmips_rac_flush_disable will be set to false as RAC flush can be
correctly supported.

The CBR address from DT will overwrite the cached one and the
one set in the CBR register will be ignored.

Also the DT CBR address is validated on being outside DRAM window.

The data RAC is left disabled by the bootloader in some SoCs, at least in
the core it boots from.
Enabling this feature increases the performance up to +30% depending on the
task.

Pretty sure that Rob commented last time that there's no definition
anywhere here of CBR, but I don't see either a response to him or an
explanation in v3 as to what CBR means.

Why is a ?linux? function name in the binding? Surely this is just
"or in SMP systems where reading CBR returns 0 from...", no? Ditto
above.
