Because in include/acpi/actbl1.h:

#define ACPI_HMAT_CA_NONE                     (0)

ACPI_HMAT_CA_NONE is 0, but in include/linux/node.h:

   enum cache_indexing {
          NODE_CACHE_DIRECT_MAP,
          NODE_CACHE_INDEXED,
          NODE_CACHE_OTHER,
   };
NODE_CACHE_OTHER is 2, and for otner enum:

         case ACPI_HMAT_CA_DIRECT_MAPPED:
                 tcache->cache_attrs.indexing = NODE_CACHE_DIRECT_MAP;
                 break;
         case ACPI_HMAT_CA_COMPLEX_CACHE_INDEXING:
                 tcache->cache_attrs.indexing = NODE_CACHE_INDEXED;
                 break;
in include/acpi/actbl1.h:

 #define ACPI_HMAT_CA_DIRECT_MAPPED            (1)
 #define ACPI_HMAT_CA_COMPLEX_CACHE_INDEXING   (2)

but in include/linux/node.h:

NODE_CACHE_DIRECT_MAP is 0, NODE_CACHE_INDEXED is 1. This is incorrect. 
And same for enum cache_write_policy.
