CPU_V7 and ARM_GIC - definitely, thanks for spotting that.
CACHE_PL310 - I don't think so, as it's just a special case of
CACHE_L2X0, which is optional. The tile works fine with the L2 cache
disabled.

Yes, I've just mirrored what the ARCH_VEXPRESS_CA9X4 selects.

As the PL310 is optional I think I'll just do:
select PL310_ERRATA_753970 if CACHE_PL310
