Add missing cache information to the Allwinner H6 SoC dtsi, to allow
the userspace, which includes lscpu(1) that uses the virtual files provided
by the kernel under the /sys/devices/system/cpu directory, to display the
proper H6 cache information.
Adding the cache information to the H6 SoC dtsi also makes the following
warning message in the kernel log go away:
cacheinfo: Unable to detect cache hierarchy for CPU 0
The cache parameters for the H6 dtsi were obtained and partially derived
by hand from the cache size and layout specifications found in the following
datasheets and technical reference manuals:
- Allwinner H6 V200 datasheet, version 1.1
- ARM Cortex-A53 revision r0p3 TRM, version E
For future reference, here's a brief summary of the documentation:
- All caches employ the 64-byte cache line length
- Each Cortex-A53 core has 32 KB of L1 2-way, set-associative instruction
cache and 32 KB of L1 4-way, set-associative data cache
- The entire SoC has 512 KB of unified L2 16-way, set-associative cache

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
