The compatible value and related properties are defined in the
Devicetree Specification, v0.4-rc1, Section 3.9 ("Multi-level and
Shared Cache Nodes (/cpus/cpu*/l?-cache)").

The properties are handled by
dtschema/schemas/cache-controller.yaml, but the latter seems to lack
any checking on the compatible value?

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
