I'm struggling to see why this has anything to do with the hwcaps being set
incorrectly. What value do you have in fpsid? As far as I can tell, the
subarchitecture bits 6:0 should start at 0x40 for you, right?

I can see cases for changing this code, I just don't see why it would go
wrong in the case you're describing.

Cheers,
