It seems to be OK, in C:

volatile unsigned long secondary_holding_pen_release = INVALID_HWID;

Disassembly of section .data:

0000000000000000 <secondary_holding_pen_release>:
   0:   ffffffff        .word   0xffffffff
   4:   ffffffff        .word   0xffffffff

In .S:

        mov     x10, INVALID_HWID               // clear secondary_holding_pen_release
 2b0:   9280000a        mov     x10, #0xffffffffffffffff        // #-1
