The original github source allowed for the cache-line-size property to be missing. Since recent firmwares also require this property, it makes sense to always require it in the driver as well. If the cache-line-size property is missing, then the driver probe should fail as no dev since the kernel and dt may be out of sync. The fix is to add a check for the return value of of_property_read_u32. Changes V2: 1. Add error message if cache-line-size is missing. 2. Simple check for non-zero return value from of_property_read_u32.
