In current scache init cache line_size is determined from cpu config register, however if there there no scache then mips_sc_probe_cm3 function populates a invalid line_size of 2. The invalid line_size can cause a NULL pointer deference during r4k_dma_cache_inv as r4k_blast_scache is populated based on line_size. Scache line_size of 2 is invalid option in r4k_blast_scache_setup. This issue was faced during a MIPS I6400 based virtual platform bring up where scache was not available in virtual platform model. Changes from v2: https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/12243/ Fix return value, ensure function returns true only if scache is identified. Changes from v1: https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/12126/ Avoid clearing of MIPS_CACHE_NOT_PRESENT if scache is absent Fixes: 7d53e9c4cd21("MIPS: CM3: Add support for CM3 L2 cache.")
