As all level 2 and level 3 caches are unified, add required
cache-unified and cache-level properties to fix warnings like:

  sparx5_pcb125.dtb: l2-cache0: 'cache-level' is a required property

Signed-off-by: Krzysztof Kozlowski <krzysztof.kozlowski@linaro.org>

Please take the patch via sub-arch SoC tree.

Anyone from Microchip picking this up?

Best regards,
Krzysztof

Hm, there is no dedicated maintainer for Microchip ARM64 platforms? I
mean one which actually handles the patches?

It looks like it, because my recent changes were going through me. This
also means that maybe several other changes got ignored. For example:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230221105039.316819-2-robert.marko@sartura.hr/

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220420194600.3416282-1-michael@walle.cc/

You should collect some more patches... For one patch it is probably too
much effort. I can take it instead.

git tag -a -s sparx5-dt-6.5

Because you need to provide some explanation. Take a look at examples
from other sub-arch maintainers what to write in the tag:

Yes, it's correct with few nits I mentioned.

You send it to arm@, soc@, Olof and Arnd. Addresses are in examples above.

I will be preparing today the pull with various cleanups for arm-soc, so
I will take the patch if you do not mind.

For future (and all previous patches), please think what do you
(you=Microchip) want to do with it. If you do not handle the patches,
then someone should or the platform should be marked as "Odd fixes".

Best regards,
Krzysztof

Aye and the branches etc in the repo itself are all a wee bit stale.

If noone is set up to actually be the maintainer of the tree, and the
patch volume is low, it might be a good idea to combine its maintenance
with some of the other microchip trees.

I've added Nicolas to CC here, since he is the main maintainer for the
32-bit ARM Microchip stuff. For some context, I maintain the RISC-V
Microchip bits and a few other things like dt-bindings and some
non-microchip RISC-V platforms.

If you like, I could easily pick up patches for
arch/arm64/boot/dts/microchip/* as I am already sending PRs to Arnd for
other trees and another branch would not be much overhead!

Clearly I do not know the hardware at all, and reviewing the patches
would still be up to you, but I could handle the "administrative" side
of things (applying the patches & sending PRs) if that would be helpful?

Otherwise, Nicolas & I could probably help you through setting things up
to send PRs without taking up Krzysztof's time?

Either works for me!

Thanks,
Conor.

Yes, sure thing that I can be added as maintainer of the arm64 part of 
Microchip, you can add me to a MAINTAINERS entry taking care of this and 
use our group git tree for this purpose, we'll add branches for that.

Thanks Conor for the heads-up. Best regards,
