I didn't have the time to go digging into things, but the following
macro looked odd:
#define per_cpu_cacheinfo_idx(cpu, idx)		\
				(per_cpu_cacheinfo(cpu) + (idx))
Maybe it is just badly named, but is this getting the per_cpu_cacheinfo
and then incrementing intentionally, or is it meant to get the
per_cpu_cacheinfo of cpu + idx?
OK, basically per_cpu_cacheinfo(cpu) get the information for a cpu
while per_cpu_cacheinfo_idx(cpu, idx) will fetch the information for a
given cpu and given index within the cpu. So we are incrementing the
pointer by the index. These work just fine on arm64 platform.
Right, that's what I figured but wanted to be sure.
OK

Not sure if compiler is optimising something as I still can't understand
how we can end up with valid llc but fw_token as NULL.
See idk about that. The following fails to boot.

Even the above change fails to boot ? Coz you are always returning false here
too.

You are just missing the checks for llc_x and llc_y and it works which
means llc_x and llc_y is where things are going wrong.
