Subject: [PATCH v4 07/20] cacheinfo: Use cache identifiers to check if the caches are shared if available

The cache identifiers is an optional property on most of the platforms. The
presence of one must be indicated by the CACHE_ID valid bit in the attributes.

We can use the cache identifiers provided by the firmware to check if any
two cpus share the same cache instead of relying on the fw_token generated
and set in the OS.
