ARM: 8484/1: Documentation: l2c2x0: Mention separate controllers explicitly

The documentation in l2c2x0.txt is only valid for L2C210/L2C220/L2C310
(also known as PL210/PL220/PL310 and variants). Mention this explicitly.
And add a note why this isn't valid for integrated L2 controllers.

··· 1 1 * ARM L2 Cache Controller 2 2 3 - ARM cores often have a separate level 2 cache controller. There are various 4 - implementations of the L2 cache controller with compatible programming models. 3 + ARM cores often have a separate L2C210/L2C220/L2C310 (also known as PL210/PL220/ 4 + PL310 and variants) based level 2 cache controller. All these various implementations 5 + of the L2 cache controller have compatible programming models (Note 1). 5 6 Some of the properties that are just prefixed "cache-*" are taken from section 6 7 3.7.3 of the ePAPR v1.1 specification which can be found at: 7 8 https://www.power.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Power_ePAPR_APPROVED_v1.1.pdf ··· 92 91 cache-level = <2>; 93 92 interrupts = <45>; 94 93 }; 94 + 95 + Note 1: The description in this document doesn't apply to integrated L2 96 + cache controllers as found in e.g. Cortex-A15/A7/A57/A53. These 97 + integrated L2 controllers are assumed to be all preconfigured by 98 + early secure boot code. Thus no need to deal with their configuration 99 + in the kernel at all.
