I do have a worry that because the kernel won't normally use this information, by default it will get pasted between .dts files, won't get tested and will be wrong rather often. It also violates the DT principle that probeable information should not be present in the DT -- ePAPR obviously envisages systems where cache geometry information is not probeable, but that's not the case for architected caches on ARM, except in rare cases where the CLIDR is wrong.
That statement is wrong. There are caches on ARM CPUs where there is no CLIDR register. I suggest reading the earlier DDI0100 revisions. -- FTTC broadband for 0.8mile line: 5.8Mbps down 500kbps up.
