[RFC PATCH 01/36] cacheinfo: Set cache 'id' based on DT data

From: Rob Herring <robh at kernel.org>
Use the minimum CPU h/w id of the CPUs associated with the cache for the
cache 'id'. This will provide a stable id value for a given system. As
we need to check all possible CPUs, we can't use the shared_cpu_map
which is just online CPUs. As there's not a cache to CPUs mapping in DT,
we have to walk all CPU nodes and then walk cache levels.
The cache_id exposed to user-space has historically been 32 bits, and
is too late to change. This value is parsed into a u32 by user-space
libraries such as libvirt:
https://github.com/libvirt/libvirt/blob/master/src/util/virresctrl.c#L1588
Give up on assigning cache-id's if a CPU h/w id greater than 32 bits
is found.
match_cache_node() does not make use of the __free() cleanup helpers
because of_find_next_cache_node(prev) does not drop a reference to prev,
and its too easy to accidentally drop the reference on cpu, which belongs
to for_each_of_cpu_node().

Use as a 32bit value has also been seen in DPDK patches here:
http://inbox.dpdk.org/dev/20241021015246.304431-2-wathsala.vithanage@arm.com/
Changes since v2:
* Removed broken use of cleanup in the match helper
Changes since v1:
* Remove the second loop in favour of a helper.
