I test this patch on our platform, and the result is that 'type' property of L3Cache
is not displayed.

So I add some print to debug, and found out that ARM64 __populate_cache_leaves()
set this_cpu_ci->info_list[L3Cache_level].type to 0, bacause we can't get the type of
L3Cache from CLIDR.

Then cache_setup_acpi_cpu() try to find L3Cache from PPTT.  Because L3Cache type read from
CLIDR is 0, so branch in acpi_cache_type falls into default: ACPI_PPTT_CACHE_TYPE_UNIFIED.
So we can find L3Cache in PPTT, then use update_cache_properties() to update L3Cache property.
But update_cache_properties() doesn't update the cache type, so this_cpu_ci->info_list[L3Cache_level].type
is still 0, cache_default_attrs_is_visible() returns 0, and 'type' property of L3Cache won't be displayed in sysfs.

Can we set this_cpu_ci->info_list[level].type to CACHE_TYPE_UNIFIED in __populate_cache_leaves() when level >= 3 ?
Or can we update cache type property in update_cache_properties() ?
