Hi,

As sashiko-bot said：Checking of_device_is_available(cache) here 
introduces a mismatch with mpam_dt_count_msc(), which only checks 
whether the MSC node itself is available, not its parent cache. And in 
practice, cache nodes are rarely if ever marked as disabled in the 
device tree, so this check adds unnecessary inconsistency without a real 
benefit.

I'll remove the cache availability check in the next version to keep the 
two consistent.

Thanks,
Yin
