Move the "l3_cache" node under the "cpus" node in the dtsi file for Rockchip
RK356x SoCs.  There's no need for this cache node to be at the higher level.

I think the commit message needs a bit more rationale on why this is a
stable-worthy fix. Because from the move and commit message it reads
like a styling choice ;-) .

I do agree that it makes more sense as child of cpus, but the commit
message should also elaborate on why that would matter for stable.

Thanks for your feedback!  Perhaps it would be the best to simply drop 
the
submission to stable kernels...  Believe it or not, :) I spent a fair 
amount
of time deliberating over the submission to stable, but now I think it's
simply better to omit that and not increase the amount of patches that 
go
into stable unnecessary.

Would you like me to send the v2 with no Cc to stable, or would you 
prefer
to drop that line yourself?

I'm hopeful that I'll remember to drop it :-), so I guess no need
to resend for that.

Except it does arguably represent the physical topology - the L3 cache 
doesn't belong to the CPUs, it belongs to the DSU, which very much is 
"outside" the CPUs.

Thanks,
Robin.

That's a very good point, thanks!  I knew there must have been
a very good reason why I placed the L3 cache outside the CPUs
originally, in the commit 8612169a05c5 referenced below, but I
also somehow managed to forget that reason for a moment. :)

Let's drop this patch, and I'll submit another patch for the
RK3588 SoC dtsi files that moves the L3 cache outside the CPUs,
to reflect the physical topology better.
