[PATCH v4 0/2] cacheinfo support to read no. of L2 cache ways enabled

From: Yash Shah
Date: Fri Jan 17 2020 - 02:44:08 EST


The patchset includes 2 patches. Patch 1 implements cache_get_priv_group
which make use of a generic ops structure to return a private attribute
group for custom cacheinfo. Patch 2 implements a private attribute named
"number_of_ways_enabled" in the cacheinfo framework. Reading this
attribute returns the number of L2 cache ways enabled at runtime,

This patchset is based on Linux v5.5-rc6 and tested on HiFive Unleashed
board.

v4 vs v3:
- Rename "sifive_l2_largest_wayenabled" to "l2_largest_wayenabled" and
make it a static function

v3 vs v2:
- As per Anup Patel's suggestion[0], implement a new approach which uses
generic ops structure. Hence addition of patch 1 to this series and
corresponding changes to patch 2.
- Dropped "riscv: dts: Add DT support for SiFive L2 cache controller"
patch since it is already merged
- Rebased on Linux v5.5-rc6

Changes in v2:
- Rebase the series on v5.5-rc3
- Remove the reserved-memory node from DT
