1* Andestech L2 cache Controller
2
3The level-2 cache controller plays an important role in reducing memory latency
4for high performance systems, such as thoese designs with AndesCore processors.
5Level-2 cache controller in general enhances overall system performance
6signigicantly and the system power consumption might be reduced as well by
7reducing DRAM accesses.

9This binding specifies what properties must be available in the device tree
10representation of an Andestech L2 cache controller.
11
12Required properties:
13	- compatible:
14		Usage: required
15		Value type: <string>
16		Definition: "andestech,atl2c"
17	- reg : Physical base address and size of cache controller's memory mapped
18	- cache-unified : Specifies the cache is a unified cache.
19	- cache-level : Should be set to 2 for a level 2 cache.
20
21* Example
22
23	cache-controller@e0500000 {
24		compatible = "andestech,atl2c";
25		reg = <0xe0500000 0x1000>;
26		cache-unified;
27		cache-level = <2>;
28	};
