RISC-V's implementation of init_of_cache_level() is following
the Devicetree Specification v0.3 regarding caches, cf.:

Allow reusing the implementation by moving it.

Not in this patch, but in patch 5, shouldn't riscv init_cache_level() be
removed? The topology code already called init_of_cache_level() and
RiscV has nothing architectural to add/change. IOW, init_cache_level()
should only do architecture defined init, and not anything DT or ACPI
related (unless those are non-standard).

Rob

I think you are right. Just to re-phrase your point:
init_of_cache_level() is called through this path:
init_cpu_topology()
\-fetch_cache_info()
  \-init_of_cache_level()

If there is missing information in the DT and it's not possible to create the
cacheinfo, then the arch specific implementation i.e. init_cache_level() is
called through:
update_siblings_masks() | cacheinfo_cpu_online()
\-detect_cache_attributes()
  \-init_cache_level()

This is useful for arm to call init_cache_level() since it is possible
to extract some information from some registers. For RISC-V, if
init_of_cache_level() fails, then init_cache_level() will fail again.
So removing RISC-V's init_cache_level() makes sense.

Pierre
