patch "drivers: base: cacheinfo: fix cache type for non-architected system" added to driver-core-linus

This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

drivers: base: cacheinfo: fix cache type for non-architected system

to my driver-core git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core.git
in the driver-core-linus branch.

The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)

The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release.

If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: drivers: base: cacheinfo: fix cache type for non-architected system
cache

Commit dfea747d2aba ("drivers: base: cacheinfo: support DT overrides for cache properties") doesn't initialise the cache type if it's present only in DT and the architecture is not aware of it. They are unified system level cache which are generally transparent.

This patch check if the cache type is set to NOCACHE but the DT node indicates that it's unified cache and sets the cache type accordingly.
