Describe the cache memories according with datasheet chapter 15.2:
- L1 cache configuration with 32KB for both data and instruction cache.
- L2 cache configuration with 256KB unified cache.

Before this patch:
[    0.161955] cacheinfo: Unable to detect cache hierarchy for CPU 0

After this patch:
[root at sama7d65eb ~]$ ll -h /sys/bus/cpu/devices/cpu0/of_node/l1-cache
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 4 Jun 18 12:16 cache-level
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 6 Jun 18 12:16 compatible
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 4 Jun 18 12:16 d-cache-size
