NAK. Really, nak. Stop this mentality of working around shortcomings
of generic code by adding yet more platform junk. Such approaches are
not acceptable.

The power control is already done by generic code. I know that you've
developed the above code against the exact copy of generic code which
has this, because you're using the new symbols.

You shouldn't need to disable interrupts; the interrupts should already
be disabled unless your bootloaders are doing something weird with them.

There have been DT bindings proposed for prefetch control register. I
suggest that you search this mailing list for that patch, and check
whether it is acceptable for your platform.

Taking all that together, you should need /zero/ code in your platform
for L2 caches, which is *the way it should be*.
