That is true but I don't think maintainers mind that in general.

[PATCH 2/2] ARC: mm: fix new code about cache aliasing
Manual/partial revert of 8690bbcf3b70 ("Introduce cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() across all architectures") Current generation of ARCv2/ARCv3 based HSxx cores are only PIPT (to software at least). Legacy ARC700 cpus could be VIPT aliasing (based on cache geometry and PAGE_SIZE) however recently that support was ripped out so VIPT aliasing cache is not relevant to ARC anymore. P.S. : This has been discussed a few times on lists [1] P.S.2: Please CC the arch maintainers and/or mailing list before adding such interfaces.
