[PATCH v3 4/8] cacheinfo: Expose the code to generate a cache-id from a device_node

From: James Morse <james.morse at arm.com>

The MPAM driver identifies caches by id for use with resctrl. It
needs to know the cache-id when probe-ing, but the value isn't set
in cacheinfo until device_initcall(). Even after device_initcall(),
the cache-id is only available if at least one CPU associated with
the cache is online.

Instead of making the driver wait, expose the code that generates the
cache-id. The parts of the MPAM driver that run early can use this to
set up the resctrl structures before cacheinfo is ready in
device_initcall().
