This still leaves the possibility that misleading information is exposed
for systems from other vendors. I've made a quick attempt to Cc the
authors of other arm64 dts here.

Given that in the absence of these nodes we can't derive a complete view
of the cache hierarchy, shouldn't we only expose the cacheinfo when we
have these nodes and can therefore produce correct values?

I can imagine that future dts are likely to appear without these nodes,
and I imagine that we won't spot all of those cases. We also have
existing DTBs to take into account.

Thanks,
Mark.
