Yes the support to override the cache properties for DT was added in v4.10

However, it still depends on the the sysreg to get the total levels of
caches supported in the system. You may need to tweak a bit around that
to support what you need.

Sure, that would help.

OK, you can start trying the patch below :). It's not even compile
tested, so you make have to make some changes necessary. I just wanted
to put my thoughts here. Make sure all the L3 cacheinfo is present in DT.

OK. Thank you very much. I will try it in my arm64 board.

Thanks, I have posted the patches[1] and Cc-ed you on them. It would be
good to get Tested-by once you check.

You need to add cache-level = <3> with v2 patch set to work.
