Yep, you seemed to have caught the issue correctly.

Considering that
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/arch/arm/mach-omap2/omap4-common.c#n169
has no implementation of DATA,TAG_LATENCY, FILTER_*
I did a few patches for those - separate from this series and posted
(v2 of the series):
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/5560231/
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/5560211/

Anyways, l2c_write_sec will refuse to write if the read value is same
as requested value - that is exactly what we want here. So, for
testing, I hacked it and remove the check to force the writes
(http://slexy.org/view/s2p8c3gl32)

The replaced raw_writels with secure writes(fix needed for this
patch): http://slexy.org/view/s21PbM73tt

(with secure writes, my patches and force write hack applied):
1: am437x-sk: BOOT: PASS: http://slexy.org/raw/s2BxqX5NOz
2: am43xx-epos: BOOT: PASS: http://slexy.org/raw/s2VkKYuYed
3: am43xx-gpevm: BOOT: PASS: http://slexy.org/raw/s2kO95WSuY
4: pandaboard-es: BOOT: PASS: http://slexy.org/raw/s21sx5gmUl

6: sdp4430: BOOT: PASS: http://slexy.org/raw/s21UVKHle5


(with just secure writes and none of my patches or hacks applied):
1: am437x-sk: BOOT: PASS: http://slexy.org/raw/s21UxoDdo5
2: am43xx-epos: BOOT: PASS: http://slexy.org/raw/s2ECrLZ1FH

Awesome :). Thanks for catching this.
