SubjectRe: [PATCH] cacheinfo: Keep the old value if of_property_read_u32fails
Date
Hi, Sudeep,

I use MIPS, and there is no "size" in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/cache/indexX/ file after your patch. Because the DT node only has "next-level-cache = <&L2>;" but has no "size" information.

Only above 2 could be affected, but I want to be sure. I wasn't aware
of MIPS arch setting values elsewhere, assumed DT, my bad.
You have still not answered my question. Which arch are you facing issue ?
Or are you proposing this by code inspection ? I changes look fine, but
want to be sure if the issue you are seeing is in above architectures.
