The v7 ARM states that all cache and branch predictor maintenance operations that do not specify an address execute, relative to each other, in program order. However, because of this erratum, an L2 set/way cache maintenance operation can overtake an L1 set/way cache maintenance operation, this would cause the data corruption.
This ERRATA affected the Cortex-A7 and present in r0p2, r0p3, r0p4, r0p5. This patch is the SW workaround by adding a DSB before changing cache levels as the ARM ERRATA: ARM/MP: 814220 told in the ARM ERRATA documentation.
