^^ The above change broke AM437xx. Looks like the change causes the
following behavior difference on AM437x. For some reason, touching any
of the above 4 registers(even with the values read from the same
registers) causes AM437x to go beserk. Comment the 4 writes and we
reach shell. looks like l2c310_resume is not invoked prior to this
series. :(.. now that we reuse that logic to actually do programming,
we start to see the problem.

one option might be to write only those registers that differ from
saved_registers (example: unmodified values dont need reprogramming).

Looks like the following also need addressing:
data->save is called twice (once more after l2cof_init)
l2c310_init_fns also needs l2c310_configure
will be nice to use l2x0_data only after we kmemdup data in __l2c_init

if you'd like to split this up in pieces, [1] might be nice - will go
good to change the pl310, aurora etc in each chunks to enable better
review.
