Hi,

The HW designers have indicated that there is no sane way to provide sets/ways information to software, even on an informational basis (ie not for cache maintenance, but for performance optimizations). Therefore the firmware will not provide this information because it will be wrong.

So, therefore, we should still be able to tell the user that a cache exists at the relevant level, and what size it is.  On the concerned system, we cannot do that currently.

Ok, so set the fields to zero in firmware node, and mark them valid.

That logically says that there isn't any set/way information for the cache (which implies direct mapped).
