I think it's because of:
commit cba4b1809f043bf85c806e5a4e342f62bd5ded45

arm: do not force d-cache enable on all boards
c2dd0d45540397704de9b13287417d21049d34c6 added dcache_enable()
to board_init_r(). This enables d-cache for all ARM boards.
As a result some of the arm boards that are not cache-ready
are broken. Revert this change and allow platform code to
take the decision on d-cache enabling.
Also add some documentation for cache usage in ARM.

Don't you see "WARNING: Caches not enabled" message during boot?
2Wolfgang: So caches are actually disabled on everything except OMAP...
Regards, Ilya.
