Topology and cache bindings parsing seem decoupled to me:

cache_setup_acpi(cpu)
setup_acpi_cpu_topology(cpu, level)

I mentioned that because it can simplify review (and merging)
of this series.

The question is whether we need to know a node is a leaf, see below.

Ok, it is not clearly worded in the specs (we can update it though) but I
think the valid flag must be set for leaf nodes, which would make the
leaf node check useless because you just have to match a PPTT node with
a valid ACPI Processor ID.
