ARM: 8222/1: mvebu: enable strex backoff delay
commit 995ab5189d1d7264e79e665dfa032a19b3ac646e upstream.
Under extremely rare conditions, in an MPCore node consisting of at
least 3 CPUs, two CPUs trying to perform a STREX to data on the same
shared cache line can enter a livelock situation.
This patch enables the HW mechanism that overcomes the bug. This fixes
the incorrect setup of the STREX backoff delay bit due to a wrong
description in the specification.
Note that enabling the STREX backoff delay mechanism is done by
leaving the bit *cleared*, while the bit was currently being set by
the proc-v7.S code.
[Thomas: adapt to latest mainline, slightly reword the commit log, add
stable markers.]
Fixes: de4901933f6d ("arm: mm: Add support for PJ4B cpu and init routines")
