Thank you for sharing this! I had those changes on my agenda as well. The parsing of the cache size breaks the build for me, so I created a patch file that omits these parts[1].
I tested it on two devices: the Client gets the proper CPU description now. This can help targeting specific ARM features (e.g. NEON) with the project scheduler. David: Could you please review the patch and commit it to the Client code?
