David Bauer 26bc8f6876 generic: MIPS: Add barriers between dcache & icache flushes
This fixes spurious boot-errors with some ath79 MIPS 74Kc boards such
as the AC Lite as well as Archer C7 v2.

The missing barrier leads to the icache flush being executed before the
dcache writeback, which results in the CPU executing the dummy infinite
loop in tlbmiss_handler_setup_pgd.

Applying this patch from upstream ensures the dcache is written back
before flushing the icache.

Subject: [PATCH] MIPS: Add barriers between dcache & icache flushes
Index-based cache operations may be arbitrarily reordered by out of
order CPUs. Thus code which writes back the dcache & then invalidates
the icache using indexed cache ops must include a barrier between
operating on the 2 caches in order to prevent the scenario in which:
- icache invalidation occurs.
- icache fetch occurs, due to speculation.
- dcache writeback occurs.
If the above were allowed to happen then the icache would contain stale
data. Forcing the dcache writeback to complete before the icache
invalidation avoids this.
