obj->cache_level is only ever set to "invalid" from the set pat
extension? Doesn't that make it a boolean so there is no need for three
bits to hold the enum, just the "pat has been externally set" bit really?

Will update.

Thanks!

This will print uncached for all legacy platforms if set pat extension
has been used, regardless of the index set.

Will update. Should just use obj->pat_index here.

Thanks, it looks better to me in v5.

Are we okay with that? I find it questionable and would say no. It
diverges from >= 12 and so is confusing.

Another thing is why use different names for caching modes between
"legacy" and the rest?

For new platforms the string matches bspec. For legacy platforms I think it's
still better to inherit the strings, no surprises here. What do you think?

Not 100% sure but I fear confusion from userspace developer point of view if they have code which uses the set pat extension on all platforms and then on some they see "WB" and one some they see "LLC" or "snooped". Might be less confusing to use the same terminology.

But it also may be true what you say, that someone got used to old strings.. However as they (the old strings) will only appear on old platforms. And that the BSpec naming on old platforms does not use WB&co, if I got that right.

I guess it is only debugfs so okay to to leave this open for later.
