 > What kind of Amlogic board you are working on?
 
 I'm currently using a Visson ATV-102 "Android TV Box" which has an
 Amlogic aml8726-m3 SoC.  I have it to the point of attempting to
 mount the root filesystem so it's probably time for me to write a
 driver for the Amlogic MMC hardware.
 
 I also have a Ainol Elf 2 tablet which has an Amlogic aml8726-mx SoC
 which I plan to work on next.
 
 Both chips are dual core Arm Cortex A9 processors.

 Yep ... enabling the dcache in initarm_late_init takes care of the
 mutex ldrex / strex problem.
