The NVIDIA Tegra234 SoC has 3 clusters of 4 Cortex-A78AE CPU cores each,
for a total of 12 CPUs. Each CPU has 64 KiB instruction and data caches
with each cluster having an additional 256 KiB unified L2 cache and a 2
MiB L3 cache.

Isn't all this discoverable?

No. The required parameters for cache maintenance by set/way are discoverable from the CTR, and if you're particularly lucky they might even happen to reflect the underlying physical cache structures, but there's absolutely no guarantee of that, and there definitely exist cases where they don't.

Oh, I'd missed this - per the current state of things, we should really have a proper compatible for the PMU as well.

(Suggestions for ways to improve the current state of things for better forward- and backward- compatibility welcome - I started having a mad idea about autogenerating a PMU name from the CPU compatible if the generic PMU compatible is present, but I'm not sure that's realistic).

Robin.

That's the default.
