I did check this and think that the error log from dt_binding_check is
not valid because it says cache-level is a required property [1], but
there is no such property in LLCC bindings.

Then you should point out the issue and not just submit stuff ignoring
it. It has to be resolved one way or another.


I did not ignore it. When I ran the dt-binding check locally, it did not
error out and just passed on [1] and it was my bad that I did not check
the entire build logs to see if llcc dt binding check had some warning or
not. But this is the usual case where most of us don't look at the entire
build logs to check if there is a warning or not. We notice if there is an
immediate exit/fail in case of some warning/error. So it would be good if
we fail the dt-binding check build if there is some warning/error or atleast
provide some option to strict build to fail on warning, maybe there is already
a flag to do this?

After submitting the patch, I noticed this build failure on
patchwork.ozlabs.org and was waiting for your reply.

If you refer to the DT spec[1], cache-level is required. The schema is
just enforcing that now. It's keying off the node name of
'cache-controller'.


This is not L2 or L3 cache, this is a system cache (last level cache) shared by
clients other than just CPU. So I don't know how do we specify cache-level for
this, let me know if you have some pointers.


Any ideas on specifying the cache-level for system cache? Does dt-binding-check
needs to be updated for this case?

Thanks,
Sai
