You need to limit this to the specific bit(s) you want to set and verify
that
the l2c driver does not already manage that bit appropriately and that it
can
not be specified via the dtsi.

We discussed this a little while ago with Rob here:

I'm not sure what the outcome is, and the patch changelog doesn't
explain what the patch is for, so I've not applied it. If you need the
patch for correct operation, please resend it with a proper changelog
comment explaining why it's needed and why you ended up not setting
any of the bits.

The last email in that thread mentions
L310_AUX_CTRL_CACHE_REPLACE_RR, is that required after all?

Yes, please resend it as soon as you have the time to improve the changelog,
no need to wait if you can do it right away. We can always merge bugfixes,
but doing it earlier rather than later is better.
