I will add another patch to my set to correct this.

Thanks - I will add this to my patchset.

I can clean up all but ARCH_BCM_MOBILE_L2_CACHE. This one is
intertwined with SMC support and it looks like they want the option to
turn on and off this feature. This L2/Trustzone support will need to be
cleaned up at a later time. I heard Russell King says the PL310 cache
code will be changing again soon. When I add PL310 Trustzone support
for the Cygnus SoC I can have a look at cleaning it up for the
Mobile/Kona base SoCs at the same time.
