The errata 773022 on second patch series is also required to checking the part number.
In my opinion, the testing for Cortex-A15 primary part number is required
before working the work-around to support several A15 errata.

Do you mean "tsteq	r10, #1 << 25" ?
If yes, it needs to branch and will make a little complicated
And, I think maybe this function could be the first step to configure this erratum.

Thanks for your review
