Hmm, w/ this series I am still seeing a:
[    0.306736] Early cacheinfo failed, ret = -22

Not finding any cacheinfo is totally valid, right?

A basic RISC-V QEMU setup is sufficient to reproduce, for instance:
| $(qemu) \
| 	-m 2G -smp 5 \
| 	-M virt -nographic \
| 	-kernel $(vmlinux_bin)

Cheers,
Conor.
