I know that commit "a8d4636f96ad" (arm64: cacheinfo: Remove CCSIDR-based
cache information probing) removed the code to read the CCSIDR from the
kernel.
Therefore, I only use level and type information that can be read from
CLIDR_EL1. Are there similar concerns when using only CLIDR_EL1
information?
