Subject: [PATCH] cacheinfo: Keep the old value if of_property_read_u32 fails

Commit 448a5a552f336bd7b847b1951 ("drivers: base: cacheinfo: use OF
property_read_u32 instead of get_property,read_number") makes cache
size and number_of_sets be 0 if DT doesn't provide there values. I
think this is unreasonable so make them keep the old values, which is
the same as old kernels.

What old values does the kernel have ? Which architecture are you referring ?
If DT doesn't have entry then we can't expose sysfs, hence 0.
Please provide more details on the issue you are seeing.

Hi, Sudeep,

Please see this call-graph:

static int detect_cache_attributes(unsigned int cpu)
....
ret = populate_cache_leaves(cpu);
....
ret = cache_shared_cpu_map_setup(cpu); -->
cache_setup_of_node() --> cache_of_set_props() -->
cache_size()/cache_nr_sets

populate_cache_leaves() is arch-specific, All archs except arm64 have
provide initial values to cacheinfo:size and cacheinfo:number_of_sets.

Only above 2 could be affected, but I want to be sure. I wasn't aware
of MIPS arch setting values elsewhere, assumed DT, my bad.
You have still not answered my question. Which arch are you facing issue ?
Or are you proposing this by code inspection ? I changes look fine, but
want to be sure if the issue you are seeing is in above architectures.

Hi, Sudeep,

I use MIPS, and there is no "size" in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/cache/indexX/ file after your patch. Because the DT node only has "next-level-cache = <&L2>;" but has no "size" information.

Thanks for the confirmation and your time. I was worried if this was ARM64
with local patches.
