Any particular reason not to use generic cacheinfo sysfs infrastructure ?

Ah OK, sorry I mistook it as a new addition rather than bug fox.

Hello,

The comment is appreciated I didnt know about the generic cacheinfo
intrstructure to be honest.  The simplifications it brings look good, I
will put this on my todo list.

If you want to have a go at patching it in for openrisc it would be
appreciated. :)

Sure I can try if I get time before someone else does that ;)

No reason as far as I can see, the creation of this patch predates the
generic cacheinfo sysfs infrastructure.

The patch itself doesn't add cache information to cpuinfo though,
only corrects a bug in the information that is already there.

We should look into exposing the info in the generic cache info sysfs
and potentially removing the information from cpuinfo.
