[PATCH DNM RFC 15/15] arm64: dts: qcom: kaanapali: Add MPAM MSC nodes for the L2 caches

From: Yin Li

Date: Tue Aug 11 2026 - 09:59:40 EST


Add an MPAM MSC device node for each L2 cache. Each MSC is nested
directly under its L2 cache node so that the cache node is the MSC's
parent device and its CPU affinity is derived from that cache.

The L2 cache nodes are placed directly under the root node. The root is
the root of the physical address space, so each cache node only needs an
identity 'ranges' property for its nested MSC's 'reg' to be resolved to
a physical address. The two caches use distinct node names (l2-cache-0
and l2-cache-1) since a cache node has no MMIO unit-address of its own.

The nodes are disabled by default. Production firmware does not expose
MSC register access to the OS, so these nodes can only be enabled on a
local test setup where firmware permits direct MMIO access to the MSCs.
This DTS is therefore only an example for other platform DT authors and
is not intended to be merged.
