Thanks for your patch, which is now commit 5944ce092b97caed
("arch_topology: Build cacheinfo from primary CPU") in
driver-core/driver-core-next.

This triggers on all my RV64 platforms (K210, Icicle, Starlight,
RZ/Five).

This seems to be a respin of
https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAMuHMdUBZ791fxCPkKQ6HCwLE4GJB2S35QC=SQ+X8w5Q4C_70g@mail.gmail.com
which had the same issue.
