Andes cache driver is not only usable with the AX45MP CPU but can also be
applied to other CPU within Andes platform (such as A27L2).
To improve maintainability and support future SoCs, this patch performs a
comprehensive refactoring to move away from model-specific naming.

key changes include:
 - replaced AX45MP-specific Kconfig and function names with generic "ANDES"
   prefixes to support multiple CPU types
 - updated all L2-related identifiers, structs, and prefixes to "LLC"
   to accurately reflect its role as the system's last-level cache
 - moved UCCTL* CSR definitions to <linux/soc/andes/csr.h>
 - standardized L1D and LLC macro prefixes (ANDES_L1D_* and ANDES_LLC_*)
   for better clarity
 - renamed compatible strings from ax45mp-cache to generic llcache
 - rename ax45mp_cache.c to andes_llcache.c

This is a structural refactoring; no functional behavior is changed.

Why? There's no user outside of the driver.

This patch is, quite frankly, unreviewable. There's various additions
and changes hidden in here alongside renames. Every bullet point here
should be a patch, and then maybe I see some of them as trivial and
squash them, but what's here is just too annoying to spot what is a
rename and what is a snuck-in change.

You broke all users by removing a compatible, so this is clearly false.

All patches in this series that have more than one signoff have a
problem. You're the last signoff and the author, what did any of these
other people do? Were they the real authors and authorship is screwed
up? Or should these people have Co-developed-by tags?

Thanks,
Conor.

Thank you both, Krzysztof and Conor, for the detailed review.
I appreciate the feedback and admit this series needed more work
before sending. I will address all the issues in the next version.
 
A bit of background on the motivation: the main goal of this series
was to prepare the Andes cache driver for a SoC Allwinner Avaotaf1 V821,
which uses the Andes A27L2 CPU. We wanted to share a single cache driver
across different Andes CPU variants, which is why we tried to move toward
more generic naming in both the driver and the compatible strings.
 
We have two questions we'd appreciate guidance on:
  a) On compatible string naming: We'll drop patch [5/7][6/7] and won't
     rename any existing compatible strings. But we'd like to confirm
     the preferred approach for A27L2: would it be acceptable to add
     a generic compatible (andestech,andes-llcache) as an addition?
     If so, would a CPU-specific compatible (andestech,a27l2-cache)
     still be required alongside it?
 
  b) On Avaotaf1 V821 support: We are not in a position to submit the
     DTS on behalf of Allwinner. However, we would like to add the
     corresponding compatible strings to the existing binding
     documents (andestech,andes-llcache.yaml, sifive,plic-1.0.0.yaml,
     and riscv/cpus.yaml) in advance, so that the bindings are ready
     when Allwinner eventually submits their DTS.
     Would it be acceptable to upstream binding-only changes without
     an accompanying DTS at this stage?
 
For the next version, we're thinking of keeping only the changes
needed to generalize the cache driver, and dropping the improvements
for now to keep things focused. If you have any suggestion on how
to approach this, we'd love to hear it.
 
Thanks again for your patience.
 
Best regards,
Mina

People making mistakes is whatever, as long as they don't keep making
them!

I don't mind the kernel-side renaming all that much, the compatible
rename is what's problematic.

Yes. I think that this cpu-specific compatible is what actually has
value, and adding something generic to all andes CPUs is a "nice to
have" convenience. Also, "andestech,andes-llcache" is a bit of a weak
name, repeating "andes" has no value. There's no code-name or something
for the IP that we could use instead of the second "andes" here?

Yes, of course. You're not willing to submit the dts, which is
understandable, but for the cache and plic bindings, you are able to add
the soc-specific compatibles for this device, right?

Whatever you want. The improvements (or at least the things I think
are improvements) seem worth having. The problem was just patches doing
multiple things at once. If you decide to only do the generalisation,
that's fine, just make sure it is broken down so that each of your
bullet points in the commit messages.

Cheers,
Conor.

NAK, actual ABI break.
