I assume L3 is outer non-architected system cache.

NACK for this:

1. We don't have any DT binding for the "type"
2. Even if we had, we will never have such a binding that magical
returns the enum used in Linux implementation. That's not how DT
bindings are designed.

Please refer ePAPR or Devicetree Specification Release 0.1 from
devicetree.org, we have cache-unified boolean for type.

Let me know if the below patch works for you, I will submit it
preferably with your tested-by.

Sudeep
