[PATCH] cache: sifive_ccache: Enable all ways when no LIM is reserved

The composable cache resets with only way 0 enabled, while the remaining
ways are available as Loosely Integrated Memory (LIM). Systems that do
not reserve LIM therefore use only one cache way unless software
increases WayEnable.
When no memory-region property is present, DT describes no LIM
reservation for the cache controller. Validate the reported way count,
then enable all cache ways so Linux can use the full cache capacity.
When memory-region is present, leave WayEnable unchanged because enabled
ways cannot be returned to LIM until reset. This may leave more ways
assigned to LIM than required, but avoids consuming reserved LIM.
Apply this policy to all compatibles handled by the driver. Firmware or
DT configurations that require LIM must provide memory-region;
otherwise, Linux will convert all disabled ways to cache.
