ARM: 6416/1: errata: faulty hazard checking in the Store Buffer may lead to data corruption
On the r2p0, r2p1 and r2p2 versions of the Cortex-A9, data corruption can occur under very rare conditions due to a store buffer optimisation. This workaround sets a bit in the diagnostic register of the Cortex-A9, disabling the optimisation and preventing the problem from occurring.

+ This option enables the workaround for the 743622 Cortex-A9
+ (r2p0..r2p2) erratum. Under very rare conditions, a faulty
+ optimisation in the Cortex-A9 Store Buffer may lead to data
+ corruption. This workaround sets a specific bit in the diagnostic
+ register of the Cortex-A9 which disables the Store Buffer
+ optimisation, preventing the defect from occurring. This has no
+ visible impact on the overall performance or power consumption of the
+ processor.
