Subject: RE: [PATCH v2 5/8] arm64: Create cache sysfs directory without ACPI PPTT for hardware prefetch control

This register mean CLIDR_EL1.

I know that commit "a8d4636f96ad" (arm64: cacheinfo: Remove CCSIDR-based
cache information probing) removed the code to read the CCSIDR from the
kernel.
Therefore, I only use level and type information that can be read from
CLIDR_EL1. Are there similar concerns when using only CLIDR_EL1
information?
