Re: [PATCH 1/2] staging/vc04_services: initialize cache line size properly

Hi Arnd,

I submitted a change which is in Linux-next now that makes the whole
CACHE_LINE_SIZE macro meaningless.  It now always reads the size from
the DT and errors out with -ENODEV if the property is missing.

I was going to submit a change to delete the macro completely, just
never got to it.
