firmware: dell_rbu: Make payload memory uncachable
[ Upstream commit 6aecee6a ] The dell_rbu driver takes firmware update payloads and puts them in memory so the system BIOS can find them after a reboot. This sometimes fails (though rarely), because the memory containing the payload is in the CPU cache but never gets written back to main memory before the system is rebooted (CPU cache contents are lost on reboot). With this patch, the payload memory will be changed to uncachable to ensure that the payload is actually in main memory before the system is rebooted.
