ARM: l2x0/pl310: Refactor Kconfig to be more maintainable
Making CACHE_L2X0 depend on (huge list of MACH_ and ARCH_ configs)
is bothersome to maintain and likely to lead to merge conflicts.
This patch moves the knowledge of which platforms have a L2x0 or
PL310 cache controller to the individual machines. To enable this,
a new MIGHT_HAVE_CACHE_L2X0 config option is introduced to allow
machines to indicate that they may have such a cache controller
independently of each other.
Boards/SoCs which cannot reliably operate without the L2 cache
controller support will need to select CACHE_L2X0 directly from
their own Kconfigs instead. This applies to some TrustZone-enabled
boards where Linux runs in the Normal World, for example.

+ This option should be selected by machines which have a L2x0
+ or PL310 cache controller, but where its use is optional.
+
+ The only effect of this option is to make CACHE_L2X0 and
+ related options available to the user for configuration.
+
+ Boards or SoCs which always require the cache controller
+ support to be present should select CACHE_L2X0 directly
+ instead of this option, thus preventing the user from
+ inadvertently configuring a broken kernel.
