Humm, indeed, this has been present in v6.3.2 since I requested it to be 
included. The error that I saw this morning was not -ENOENT, but -EINVAL.

With those patches applied, no more -EINVAL:

cacheinfo: Allow early level detection when DT/ACPI info is missing/broken
cacheinfo: Add arm64 early level initializer implementation
cacheinfo: Add arch specific early level initializer
cacheinfo: Add use_arch[|_cache]_info field/function

I will submit those shortly unless we think they better not be in 6.3, 
in which case it would be nice to silence those -EINVAL errors.
