Following the examples of cbom-block-size and cboz-block-size,
cbop-block-size is the cache size of Zicbop (cbo.prefetch) operations.
The most common case is to have all cache block sizes to be the same
size (e.g. profiles such as rva22u64 mandates a 64 bytes size for all
cache operations), but there's no specification requirement for that,
and an implementation can have different cache sizes for each operation.

Firstly, odd CC list. Please CC the output of get_maintainer.pl in the
future.

Ops, my bad


IIRC, I mentioned defining this to Drew when he was add zicboz, but he
didn't want to add it - although he seems to have asked you to document
this. Drew, change of heart or am I not remembering correctly?
I think he cited some interpretation of the spec from Andrei W that
implied the Zicbop size would be the same as one of the other ones, but
I cannot find that on lore atm.

The reason why I'm here is because I want to add Zicbop in QEMU riscv,isa.
I'm pushing a rva22u64 profile implementation there and Zicbop is mandatory
for it. In the process I added a riscv,cbop-block-size DT because, well,
if both Zicboz and Zicbom have their respective block-size DTs, then it's
expected that Zicbop also has one. Or so I thought.

Drew then replied in the QEMU ML [1] that riscv,cbop-block-size isn't
documented and we can't add it as it is. So here we are.

If riscv,cbop-block-size isn't needed because Zicbop will use the cache
block size of Zicboz or Zicbom, that works for me too - I'll add a note
in QEMU explaining why there's no riscv,cbop-block-size and everything
is fine. What we can't do is add stuff in the QEMU DT that's neither
documented nor acked in the DT bindings.


Thanks,


Daniel

If Drew's okay with it, then I am too, so a conditional
