Fixed.

I don't know and I don't have the a0 board available at the moment. I'll
test this once I have the board connected again, but for now I think
I'll only do this for the a1 board where I know it's needed.

Changed that. We don't know what we have to do on a new SoC revision anyway,
so it could be wrong either way. Note this is directly below this code:

	switch (rev) {
	case 0xa0:
		get_builtin_firmware_ext(mx93a0_ahab_container_img, bl33, &firmware, &size);
		break;
	case 0xa1:
		get_builtin_firmware_ext(mx93a1_ahab_container_img, bl33, &firmware, &size);
		break;
	default:
		pr_err("Unknown unhandled SoC revision %2x\n", rev);
		return -EINVAL;
	}

So we'll need to touch this place anyway once we get a new SoC revision.
