From 6f3badb67dcce2d67ac9abe35b10a04f560bbd08 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Heinrich Schuchardt Date: Mon, 22 Jul 2019 22:04:36 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] efi_loader: re-enable GRUB workaround on 32bit ARM GRUB on ARM 32bit prior to version 2.04 lacks proper handling of caches. In U-Boot v2019.04 a workaround for this was inadvertently removed. The workaround is currently also needed for booting on systems with caches that cannot be managed via CP15 (e.g. with an i.MX6 CPU). Re-enable the workaround and make it customizable.
