Sorry for the late reply. I didn't describe it clearly last time.
Currently, we have two hardware versions of pl2cache: pl2cache0 and pl2cache1.
The pl2cache0 is used in unmatched board SoC. The pl2cache1 is
utilized in our internal FPGA platform for evaluation; it's our core
IP.

OK, I'll fix it in the next version.
