ARM: 8259/1: l2c: Refactor the driver to use commit-like interface
Certain implementations of secure hypervisors (namely the one found on Samsung Exynos-based boards) do not provide access to individual L2C registers. This makes the .write_sec()-based interface insufficient and provoking ugly hacks. This patch is first step to make the driver not rely on availability of writes to individual registers. This is achieved by refactoring the driver to use a commit-like operation scheme: all register values are prepared first and stored in an instance of l2x0_regs struct and then a single callback is responsible to flush those values to the hardware.
