This sounds incorrect for x86. But I understand why you have it there.
Does it makes sense to change above to .. ?

#if !defined(CONFIG_ACPI) || (defined(CONFIG_ACPI) && !(CONFIG_ACPI_PPTT))

I'm not sure what that buys us, if anything you want more non-users of the function to be falling through to the function prototype rather than the static inline. The only place any of this matters (as long as the compiler/linker is tossing the static inline) is arm64 because its the only arch making a call to acpi_find_last_cache_level(). ACPI_PPTT is also only visible on arm64 at the moment due to being wrapped in a if ARM64 in the Kconfig

Put another way, I wouldn't expect an arch to have a 'user' visible option to enable/disable parsing the PPTT. If an arch can handle ACPI/PPTT topology then I would expect it to be fixed to the CONFIG_ACPI state. What happens when acpi_find_last_cache_level() is called should only be dependent on whether ACPI is enabled, the PPTT parser itself will handle the cases of a missing table.
