> Older chipsets may not be allowed to configure certain LLCC registers
> as that is handled by the secure side software. However, this is not
> the case for newer chipsets and they must configure these registers
> according to the contents of the SCT table, while keeping in mind that
> older targets may not have these capabilities. So add support to allow
> such configuration of registers to enable capacity based allocation
> and power collapse retention for capable chipsets.

> Reason for choosing capacity based allocation rather than the default
> way based allocation is because capacity based allocation allows more
> finer grain partition and provides more flexibility in configuration.
> As for the retention through power collapse, it has an advantage where
> the cache hits are more when we wake up from power collapse although
> it does burn more power but the exact power numbers are not known at
> the moment.
