I think this patch should be split ((1) topology (2) cache), it is doing
too much which makes it hard to review.

A leaf node is a node with a valid acpi_id corresponding to an MADT
entry, right ? By the way, is this function really needed ?

Is the leaf node check necessary ? Or you just need to check the
ACPI Processor ID valid flag (as discussed offline) ?

Side note: I'd question (some of) these pr_debug() messages.

Like this one for instance.

This should be moved at the beginning of the loop.

I really do not understand what ACPI_PPTT_PHYSICAL_PACKAGE means and
more importantly, how it is actually used in this code.

This function is used to get a topology id (that is just a number for
a given topology level) for a given level starting from a given leaf
node.

Why do we care at all about ACPI_PPTT_PHYSICAL_PACKAGE ?

This would break !ARM64.

If level is 0 there is nothing to do here.

Please explain to me the rationale behind this. To me acpi_processor_id
is as good as the cpu_node offset in the table to describe the topology
id at a given level, why special case level 0.

On top of that, with this ID scheme, we would end up with
thread/core/cluster id potentially being non-sequential values
(depending on the PPTT table layout) which should not be a problem but
we'd better check how people are using them.

This value is just a token - with no HW meaning whatsoever and that's
where I question the ACPI_PPTT_PHYSICAL_PACKAGE flag usage in retrieving
it, you are not looking for a packageid (which has no meaning whatsoever
anyway and I wonder why it was added to the specs at all) you are
looking for an id at a given level.

I will comment on the cache code separately - which deserves to
be in a separate patch to simplify the review, I avoided repeating
already reported review comments.
