The i.MX6 has some pretty explicit code associated with informing the IROM
about flushing caches during authenticate_image().

Looking at various pieces of documentation its pretty clear the i.MX6 IROM
registers are not documented and absent similar documentation on the i.MX7
the next-best fix is to disabled the dcache while making an
authenticate_image() callback.

This patch therefore disables dcache temporarily while doing an IROM
authenticate_image() callback, thus resolving a lockup encountered in a
complex set of authenticate-image calls observed.

Note there is no appreciable performance impact with dcache switched off so
this fix is relatively pain-free.

I'm trying to reproduce the same issue on an i.MX7D board but I'm not
being able so far, Is it possible to share more details on how to
reproduce this issue? Looking the thread at the NXP community seems
that this can be reproduced in a specific situation, I would like to
test in a similar environment as yours.

Thanks,
Breno Lima

OK I'll try to put some images onto gdrive for you.

Do you have an mx7 board which _doesn't_ have the OTP fuses blown ?

You will need to

1. Program SRK efuse index 3 to the same SRK we use
2. Set the part into secure-boot mode

If you don't have a *spare* board - we'll have to figure out how to 
regenerate the signed images in the same format with your SRK hashes.
