From: Sudeep Holla sudeep.holla@arm.com

commit f57ab9a01a36ef3454333251cc57e3a9948b17bf upstream.

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.
