Would this not result in cpuid_topo->llc_siblings = cpu_possible_mask
on DT systems where llc_id is not set/defaults to -1 and still pass the
condition. Does it make sense to add additional -1 check ?

[nit] s/topology_id/cache_id/ or s/topology_id/cache_topology_id/ ?

Otherwise looks fine to me. You can add with above things fixed.
