Are you saying that j721s2 is incapable of l3 cache? say some level 1
errata?

or is it because, the chip is really capable of l3 cache and we are
really setting it to 0?

https://git.ti.com/cgit/k3-image-gen/k3-image-gen/tree/soc/j721s2/evm/board-cfg.c#n71

unless the chip has an errata, you are supposed to fix it up based on
configuration by using the API and this patch is a NAK
