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 the kernel reported the warning:

[    0.171425] cacheinfo: Unable to detect cache hierarchy for CPU 0
