Subject: [PATCH v5 0/2] cacheinfo support to read no. of L2 cache ways enabled

The patchset includes 2 patches. Patch 1 implements cache_get_priv_group
which make use of a generic ops structure to return a private attribute
group for custom cacheinfo. Patch 2 implements a private attribute named
"number_of_ways_enabled" in the cacheinfo framework. Reading this
attribute returns the number of L2 cache ways enabled at runtime,

This patchset is based on Linux v5.6-rc2 and tested on HiFive Unleashed
board.

v5:
- Since WayEnable is 8bits, mask out and return only the last 8 bit in
  l2_largest_wayenabled()
- Rebased on Linux v5.6-rc2

v4:
- Rename "sifive_l2_largest_wayenabled" to "l2_largest_wayenabled" and
  make it a static function

v3:
- As per Anup Patel's suggestion[0], implement a new approach which uses
  generic ops structure. Hence addition of patch 1 to this series and
  corresponding changes to patch 2.
- Dropped "riscv: dts: Add DT support for SiFive L2 cache controller"
  patch since it is already merged
- Rebased on Linux v5.5-rc6

Changes in v2:
- Rebase the series on v5.5-rc3
- Remove the reserved-memory node from DT
