I understand that this patch is just moving these symbols from include
file to defconfig, but a more fundamental question: why do we need to
disable caches in the first place?

My understanding is that it is safe to run with caches enabled on
these imx8 platforms.

Please clarify.

Thanks,

Fabio Estevam

No need to disable icache. Dcache needs to be off, since we not have MMU
setup.

I could use a follow up patch to enable icache, agree?

Thanks,
Peng.

Is the requirement to disable D-Cache in SPL specific to i.MX8MN and i.MX8MP?

We do not pass CONFIG_SPL_SYS_ICACHE_OFF=y and
CONFIG_SPL_SYS_DCACHE_OFF=y for imx8mq_evk_defconfig, for example.
