Yes, the mpam driver from kernel use the cache_id as component id, domid directly reported from mpam acpi table(struct acpi_table_mpam_msc_res->locator1),
so the use of cache_id in mpam driver is NO different, but the definition of cache_id, or how to generate cache_id from firmware side(UEFI) is different.

I take 2 commits from edk2-platforms of ARM FVP for your reference.
