NAK--this alters the functioning of U-Boot for many boards in ways
unpredictable. If you want to get this specific V change into ARM,
then please also add code to set V in all relevant SoCs, or (better
yet IMO) make "do not set V in cpu_init_crit" a config option and
set it in the relevant SoCs or boards.

   Ok, but the problem i have is that i don't have visibility into all
   the SoC's out there -- don't know what maps where. So i think it
   should be done by people using those specific SOC's. I can add a
   config option, and introduce it for my board/SOC. Will that be fine.

For me it is fine: this way, you won't affect code behavior for existing boards.

   In any case, i will split this patch into two, with the cache
   flushing part kept separate, as it fixes a real issue on my
   board. Will work out the setting of the V bit in a separate patch.

This is a good idea too.
