I was about to send my own patch that adds the same missing cache
information, so please allow me to describe the proposed way to move
forward.

The way I see it, your commit summary and description need a rather
complete rewrite, to be more readable, more accurate, and to avoid
including an irrelevant (and slightly misleading) description of the
general role of caches.

Also, the changes to the dtsi file would benefit from small touch-ups
here and there, for improved consistency, etc.

With all that in mind, I propose that you withdraw your patch and let
me send my patch that will addresses all these issues, of course with
a proper tag that lists you as a co-developer.  I think that would
save us a fair amount of time going back and forth.

I hope you agree.
