This patch is (in a modified, extended form) already in the tree:

    pseries: Fixes and enhancements to L1 cache properties

    PAPR requires that the device tree's CPU nodes have several properties
    with information about the L1 cache.  We already create two of these
    properties, but with incorrect names - "[id]cache-block-size" instead
    of "[id]-cache-block-size" (note the extra hyphen).

    We were also missing some of the required cache properties.  This
    patch adds the [id]-cache-line-size properties (which have the same
    values as the block size properties in all current cases).  We also
    add the [id]-cache-size properties.

    Adding the cache sizes requires some extra infrastructure in the
    general target-ppc code to (optionally) set the cache sizes for
    various CPUs.  The CPU family descriptions in translate_init.c can set
    these sizes - this patch adds correct information for POWER7, I'm
    leaving other CPU types to people who have a physical example to
    verify against.  In addition, for -cpu host we take the values
    advertised by the host (if available) and use those to override the
    information based on PVR.
