[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.19 152/191] firmware: dell_rbu: Make payload memory uncachable

[Sasha Levin]

From: Stuart Hayes <stuart.w.hayes@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 6aecee6ad41cf97c0270f72da032c10eef025bf0 ]

The dell_rbu driver takes firmware update payloads and puts them in memory so
the system BIOS can find them after a reboot.  This sometimes fails (though
rarely), because the memory containing the payload is in the CPU cache but
never gets written back to main memory before the system is rebooted (CPU
cache contents are lost on reboot).

With this patch, the payload memory will be changed to uncachable to ensure
that the payload is actually in main memory before the system is rebooted.
