Hi Martin,

thank you for the quick response!

The issue I'm seeing is simple: I have an ODROID-C1+ board (rev 0.4 20150930)
which does not boot with the L2 cache controller filtering range set to <0x1000000 0xc0000000>.
U-Boot launches the kernel, which decompression complete successfully, but then nothing happens.

The S805 manual, chapter 4 (Memory Map), shows that the DDR memory
region start at 0x0 and ends at 0xbfffffff.

Following the description of the property "arm,filter-ranges" in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/l2c2x0.txt,
which is:

- arm,filter-ranges : <start length> Starting address and length of window to
  filter. Addresses in the filter window are directed to the M1 port. Other
  addresses will go to the M0 port.

it seems correct to set the range to <0x0 0xc0000000>, to direct memory accesses
on port M1 and other accesses on port M0.

If I'm wrong, could you please explain why the range used so far is correct ?
>From the memory map, that range covers part of the DDR region
and part of the	APB3 CBUS memory region (0x01000000 + 0xc000000).
Is this the intention?
