I have checked Layerscape Reference manual, HWPARAMS0~8 doesn't contain mbus_type
Info, and I didn't know where have declared it explicitly.

Yes, it's also what we prefer to use, it will be more flexible, I can add above Table
6-5 Cache Type Bit Assignments in binding to help user decide which value they
would use.

I would submit another version of patch for further review, thank you very much.
