PATCH 1/1 ARM: Fix A15 798181 errata initialization

Current errata initialization doesn't take properly revision and REVIDR into account. Depending on the core revision, revidr bits should not be taken into account. Errata misleadingly declares r3p3 to be error-free, but this is not the case. Include rp3p3 in errata initialization.

Here are possible fixes defined in revidr register for r2 and r3 [1,2]:

r0p0-r2p1: No fixes applied

r2p2,r2p3:

REVIDR[4]: 798181 Moving a virtual page that is being accessed by
an active process can lead to unexpected behavior
REVIDR[9]: Not defined

r2p4,r3p0,r3p1,r3p2:

REVIDR[4]: 798181 Moving a virtual page that is being accessed by
an active process can lead to unexpected behavior
REVIDR[9]: 798181 Moving a virtual page that is being accessed by
an active process can lead to unexpected behavior
- This is an update to a previously released ECO.

r3p3:

REVIDR[4]: Reserved
REVIDR[9]: 798181 Moving a virtual page that is being accessed by
an active process can lead to unexpected behavior
- This is an update to a previously released ECO.

And here is proposed handling from the same documents [1,2]:

* In r3p2 and earlier versions with REVIDR[4]= 0,the full workaround is required.
* In r3p2 and earlier versions with REVIDR[4]=1, REVIDR[9]=0, only the portion of the workaround up to the end of step 6 is required.
* In r3p2 and earlier versions with REVIDR[4]=1, REVIDR[9]=1, no workaround is required.
* In r3p3, if REVIDR[9]=0, only the portion of the workaround up to the end of step 6 is required.
* In r3p3, if REVIDR[9]=1, no workaround is required.

These imply following:

REVIDR[9] set -> No WA
REVIDR[4] set, REVIDR[9] cleared -> Partial WA
Both cleared -> Full WA

Where certain bits should and should not be taken into account depending on whether they are defined for the revision.

Although not explicitly mentioned in the errata note, REVIDR[9] set, with REVIDR[4] cleared is valid combination which requires no WA. This is confirmed by ARM support and errata will be updated.

These imply following:

REVIDR[9] set -> No WA

The errata documents haven't been updated yet but my reading of the corresponding ARM support case is that the "REVIDR[9] set" case only refers to r2p4. It should be a safe assumption for r3pX as well since REVIDR[9] is an update to the previous REVIDR[4] ECO. Anyway, I asked ARM support for clarification and get back to you.

Please add the rXpY ranges and corresponding REVIDR combinations to the comment above. It makes it easier to read the code later without having to dig into the commit logs.

This looks fine (once ARM support confirms the REVIDR[9] assumption above.

I see it possible for at least r3p3 as well since there revidr[4] is reserved. But yes, more clarification is for sure welcomed.

BTW, I do not know which support case you refer to.

Ok, will do.
