Unfortunately, we keep going back and forth on the L2 cache controller
setup between "it should work automatically" and "we don't want to
have configuration data in DT", where my personal opinion is that
the first one is more important here.

Now, there are a couple of properties that are defined in
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/l2cc.txt to let some of the
things get set up automatically already. Can you check which bits
are missing there, if any? Are they better described as "configuration"
or "hardware" settings?
