> Add missing cache information to the Allwinner A64 SoC dtsi, to allow
> the userspace, which includes lscpu(1) that uses the virtual files provided
> by the kernel under the /sys/devices/system/cpu directory, to display the
> proper A64 cache information.
> 
> While there, use a more self-descriptive label for the L2 cache node, which
> also makes it more consistent with other SoC dtsi files.
> 
> The cache parameters for the A64 dtsi were obtained and partially derived
> by hand from the cache size and layout specifications found in the following
> datasheets and technical reference manuals:
> 
>   - Allwinner A64 datasheet, version 1.1
>   - ARM Cortex-A53 revision r0p3 TRM, version E
> 
> For future reference, here's a brief summary of the documentation:
> 
>   - All caches employ the 64-byte cache line length
>   - Each Cortex-A53 core has 32 KB of L1 2-way, set-associative instruction
>     cache and 32 KB of L1 4-way, set-associative data cache
>   - The entire SoC has 512 KB of unified L2 16-way, set-associative cache
