I applied Pierre's patches to my tree and then did the following: - before means booting with the patches applied and the Device Tree providing cache information: {d,i}-cache-{size,line-size,sets} and next-level-cache - after means removing all of those properties still with the patches applied My expectation is that if we omit the properties in the Device Tree, we will fallback to reading that information out of clidr_el1. However as can be seen from the "before" and "after" outputs, there is loss of information, as we no longer have the cacheline size, number of sets/ways, the rest is valid though. So my question is whether this is expected and in scope of what is being done here, or not. > >> If this is out of the scope of what you are doing: >> >> Tested-by: Florian Fainelli >> > > Just looking at the lscpu output before and after, it looks something is > broken.
