1*4882a593Smuzhiyun* Andestech L2 cache Controller
2*4882a593Smuzhiyun
3*4882a593SmuzhiyunThe level-2 cache controller plays an important role in reducing memory latency
4*4882a593Smuzhiyunfor high performance systems, such as thoese designs with AndesCore processors.
5*4882a593SmuzhiyunLevel-2 cache controller in general enhances overall system performance
6*4882a593Smuzhiyunsignigicantly and the system power consumption might be reduced as well by
7*4882a593Smuzhiyunreducing DRAM accesses.

14*4882a593Smuzhiyun		Usage: required
15*4882a593Smuzhiyun		Value type: <string>
16*4882a593Smuzhiyun		Definition: "andestech,atl2c"
17*4882a593Smuzhiyun	- reg : Physical base address and size of cache controller's memory mapped
18*4882a593Smuzhiyun	- cache-unified : Specifies the cache is a unified cache.
19*4882a593Smuzhiyun	- cache-level : Should be set to 2 for a level 2 cache.
