Subject: arm64: fix midr range for Cortex-A57 erratum 832075

From: Bo Yan <[email protected]>

commit 6d1966dfd6e0ad2f8aa4b664ae1a62e33abe1998 upstream.

Register MIDR_EL1 is masked to get variant and revision fields, then compared against midr_range_min and midr_range_max when checking whether CPU is affected by any particular erratum. However, variant and revision fields in MIDR_EL1 are separated by 16 bits, so the min and max of midr range should be constructed accordingly, otherwise the patch will not be applied when variant field is non-0.
