Yeah, we check it here.

As discussed this with Catalin,
https://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg723848.html

I think it is unnecessary, if coherency_max_size is not detected from firmware,
We will return the cpu core reporting value as the cache line size and
coherency_max_size won't be used in other place.

Ok.
