The ARM RealView platforms comes with boot loaders that fail
to set up cache size, ways and associativity correctly. This
complements Florian's patch to set up cache size and sets from
the device tree with the possibility to set up associativity
on the L2C-220 cache variant.

Do we need this?

If we have the cache size, the number of sets, and the cache block size
(cache line size) which are all ePAPR specified properties for a cache,
then:

	number of cache blocks = cache size / cache block size
	ways of associativity = number of cache blocks / number of sets
	way size = cache block size * number of sets

It's a tad annoying to have to convert between the two representations,
but ePAPR decided on size, sets and block size rather than size and
ways.

See arch/powerpc/kernel/cacheinfo.c line 260 for the powerpc
associativity calculations from these values.
