System Cache Controller (Last Level Cache Controller/LLCC) does not
have a cache-level associated with it as enforced by the already
existing 'cache-controller' node name, so add system-cache-controller
to the list of generic node names as decided on the lkml in [1][2]
and already being used in the dts for sometime now.

I don't want to encourage others to use this over 'cache-controller'
and the standard binding.
Right, but why would others use this over cache-controller? This is 
supposed
to be used only for last level cache controllers where there is no 
cache-level
associated with it like in the system cache controller/LLCC found in QTI 
SoCs.
Also you had acked the corresponding change in the DT binding for LLCC 
[1].
