This is needed to have feature parity with the normal boot mode,

If this is not done, the Linux system ends up booted with the L2 cache
disabled.
I don't know a single about the sunxi, but shouldn't linux
be patched instead. The commit message seems to indicate
it is not an u-boot issue.
The ACTLR may not be writeable from NS mode so it has to be setup in the
bootloader before dropping to NS mode.
mmm, I guess there is something wrong with the boot sequence
if the kernel itself can't access raw hw.
In any case I think these sorts of low level platform specific details
are the sort of thing which the bootloader probably ought to be setting
up.
No, u-boot tries not to touch anything it doesn't use and, if anything
disables it after use. Hence, this seems like a kernel bug and nothing
to do with u-boot. They should be independent, iow a kernel should not
rely on u-boot setting thing up, that is a bug.

Jeroen
