I was about to send my own patch that adds the same missing cache
information, so please allow me to describe the proposed way to
move
forward.
The way I see it, your commit summary and description need a rather
complete rewrite, to be more readable, more accurate, and to avoid
including an irrelevant (and slightly misleading) description of
the
general role of caches.
Also, the changes to the dtsi file would benefit from small
touch-ups
here and there, for improved consistency, etc.
With all that in mind, I propose that you withdraw your patch and
let
me send my patch that will addresses all these issues, of course
with
a proper tag that lists you as a co-developer. I think that would
save us a fair amount of time going back and forth.
I hope you agree.
I have no issue with this,.If you have a better version plz share
this.
Thank you, I'll send my patch within the next couple of days.
Here's a brief update... Basically, not all of the cache-size values
found in your patch were correct, but I've got all of them calculated
again, double-checked, and cross-compared with the way values in my
earlier patch for the RK3399 SoC dtsi were calculated. [2]
It all checked out just fine. It's all based on the RK3566 and RK3568
SoC datasheets and a couple of ARM specifications, which I'll describe
in detail in my patch description. I'll send the patch after I test
it a bit, to make sure it all works as expected.

Pretty much the same patch for the RK3328 is also ready for testing.
Just sent the patches to the mailing list, please have a look. [2][3]
I've "downgraded" the previously proposed "Co-developed-by" tag in the
RK356x patch [3] to a "Helped-by" tag, just because the cache-size
values
in your patch mostly weren't correct and, as a result, differed from the
cache-size values in my patch, making the "Co-developed-by" tag
technically
not applicable. For that tag to be applicable, the most important parts
of the patches need to be pretty much identical.
I hope you agree.
