ARM: 8169/1: l2c: parse cache properties from ePAPR definitions
When both 'cache-size' and 'cache-sets' are specified for a L2 cache
controller node, parse those properties and set up the
set size based on which type of L2 cache controller we are using.
Update the L2 cache controller Device Tree binding with the optional
'cache-size', 'cache-sets', 'cache-block-size' and 'cache-line-size'
properties. These come from the ePAPR specification.
Using the cache size, number of sets and cache line size we can
calculate desired associativity of the L2 cache. This is done
by the calculation:
set size = cache size / sets
ways = set size / line size
way size = cache size / ways = sets * line size
associativity = cache size / way size
Example output from the PB1176 DT that look like this:
L2: l2-cache {
compatible = "arm,l220-cache";
(...)
arm,override-auxreg;
cache-size = <131072>; // 128kB
cache-sets = <512>;
cache-line-size = <32>;
};
Ends up like this:
L2C OF: override cache size: 131072 bytes (128KB)
L2C OF: override line size: 32 bytes
L2C OF: override way size: 16384 bytes (16KB)
L2C OF: override associativity: 8
L2C: DT/platform modifies aux control register: 0x02020fff -> 0x02030fff
L2C-220 cache controller enabled, 8 ways, 128 kB
L2C-220: CACHE_ID 0x41000486, AUX_CTRL 0x06030fff
Which is consistent with the value earlier hardcoded for the
PB1176 platform.
This patch is an extended version based on the initial patch
by Florian Fainelli.
