Board Exynos4412 - Trats2. Cache L1 enabled, cache L2 disabled.

Crc32 is calculated for 32 MiB chunks of data in the received buffer.
I'm using the standard software crc32 u-boot's implementation. It is
the same as the one for perl-crc32 debian package.

It seems so. Moreover the Exynos4412 has HW crypto engine which
supports SHA1, MD5 and other algorithms. Unfortunately it doesn't
provide speedup for crc32.
