[PATCH 2/3] cacheinfo: Check cache properties are present in DT

If a Device Tree (DT) is used, the presence of cache properties is
assumed. Not finding any is not considered. For arm64 platforms,
cache information can be fetched from the clidr_el1 register.
Checking whether cache information is available in the DT
allows to switch to using clidr_el1.

init_of_cache_level()
\-of_count_cache_leaves()
will assume there a 2 cache leaves (L1 data/instruction caches), which
can be different from clidr_el1 information.

cache_setup_of_node() tries to read cache properties in the DT.
If there are none, this is considered a success. Knowing no
information was available would allow to switch to using clidr_el1.
