Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] cacheinfo: Check cache properties are present in DT

If a Device Tree (DT) is used, the presence of cache properties is
assumed. Not finding any is not considered. For arm64 platforms,
cache information can be fetched from the clidr_el1 register.
Checking whether cache information is available in the DT
allows to switch to using clidr_el1.

init_of_cache_level()
\-of_count_cache_leaves()
will assume there a 2 cache leaves (L1 data/instruction caches), which
can be different from clidr_el1 information.

cache_setup_of_node() tries to read cache properties in the DT.
If there are none, this is considered a success. Knowing no
information was available would allow to switch to using clidr_el1.

Fixes: de0df442ee49 ("cacheinfo: Check 'cache-unified' property to count cache leaves")

Hmm, w/ this series I am still seeing a:
[ 0.306736] Early cacheinfo failed, ret = -22

Not finding any cacheinfo is totally valid, right?

A basic RISC-V QEMU setup is sufficient to reproduce, for instance:
| $(qemu) \
| -m 2G -smp 5 \
| -M virt -nographic \
| -kernel $(vmlinux_bin)

Cheers,
Conor.

Sorry I forgot to remove the:
pr_err("Early cacheinfo failed, ret = %d\n", ret);

I ll wait until tomorrow to send a v3 with this fixed.

Thanks for testing,

I have just tested it and the messages "cacheinfo: Unable to detect
cache hierarchy for CPU" disappear, I'll add my tested by on the next
version. And just to make sure we agree: this fix should go into
-fixes (for 6.3).

Thanks again Conor and Pierre,

Alex
