I do have a worry that because the kernel won't normally use this

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.
