Subject: [PATCH 6.1 3/6] cacheinfo: Check 'cache-unified' property to count cache leaves

From: Pierre Gondois <pierre.gondois@....com>

[ Upstream commit de0df442ee49cb1f6ee58f3fec5dcb5e5eb70aab ]
The DeviceTree Specification v0.3 specifies that the cache node
'[d-|i-|]cache-size' property is required. The 'cache-unified'
property is specifies whether the cache level is separate
or unified.

If the cache-size property is missing, no cache leaves is accounted.
This can lead to a 'BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds' [1] bug.

Check 'cache-unified' property and always account for at least
one cache leaf when parsing the device tree.
