Tom Rini 46960ad6d0 block: Have BLOCK_CACHE default to y in some cases
When dealing with filesystems that come from block devices we can get a
noticeable performance gain in some use cases from having the block
cache enabled.  The code paths are valid in other cases when we have BLK
set and may provide wins in raw reads in some use cases, so have this be
default when BLK is enabled.

config BLK
bool "Support block devices"
depends on DM
default y if DM_MMC
help
Enable support for block devices, such as SCSI, MMC and USB
flash sticks. These provide a block-level interface which permits
reading, writing and (in some cases) erasing blocks. Block
devices often have a partition table which allows the device to
be partitioned into several areas, called 'partitions' in U-Boot.
A filesystem can be placed in each partition.
config HAVE_BLOCK_DEVICE
bool "Enable Legacy Block Device"
help
Some devices require block support whether or not DM is enabled
config SPL_BLK
bool "Support block devices in SPL"
depends on SPL_DM && BLK
default y
help
Enable support for block devices, such as SCSI, MMC and USB
flash sticks. These provide a block-level interface which permits
reading, writing and (in some cases) erasing blocks. Block

config BLOCK_CACHE
bool "Use block device cache"
depends on BLK
default y
help
This option enables a disk-block cache for all block devices.
This is most useful when accessing filesystems under U-Boot since
it will prevent repeated reads from directory structures and other
filesystem data structures.
config IDE
bool "Support IDE controllers"
select HAVE_BLOCK_DEVICE
help
Enables support for IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) hard drives.
This allows access to raw blocks and filesystems on an IDE drive
from U-Boot. See also CMD_IDE which provides an 'ide' command for
performing various IDE operations.
