acpi_find_last_cache_level() allows to find the last level of cache for a given CPU. The function is only called on arm64 ACPI based platforms to check for cache information that would be missing in the CLIDR_EL1 register. To allow populating (struct cpu_cacheinfo).num_leaves by only parsing a PPTT, update acpi_find_last_cache_level() to get the 'split_levels', i.e. the number of cache levels being split in data/instruction caches. It is assumed that there will not be data/instruction caches above a unified cache. If a split level consist of one data cache and no instruction cache (or opposite), then the missing cache will still be populated by default with minimal cache information, and maximal cpumask (all non-existing caches have the same fw_token).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
