ARM: 6987/1: l2x0: fix disabling function to avoid deadlock
The l2x0_disable function attempts to writel with the l2x0_lock held. This results in deadlock when the writel contains an outer_sync call for the platform since the l2x0_lock is already held by the disable function. A further problem is that disabling the L2 without flushing it first can lead to the spin_lock operation becoming visible after the spin_unlock, causing any subsequent L2 maintenance to deadlock. This patch replaces the writel with a call to writel_relaxed in the disabling code and adds a flush before disabling in the control register, preventing livelock from occurring.
