* ARM L2 Cache Controller
-ARM cores often have a separate level 2 cache controller. There are various
-implementations of the L2 cache controller with compatible programming models.
+ARM cores often have a separate L2C210/L2C220/L2C310 (also known as PL210/PL220/
+PL310 and variants) based level 2 cache controller. All these various implementations
+of the L2 cache controller have compatible programming models (Note 1).
Some of the properties that are just prefixed "cache-*" are taken from section
3.7.3 of the ePAPR v1.1 specification which can be found at:
