The following patches fix some issues with the sanity checks code:
* New revisions of Cortex-A53 differ from Cortex-A57 w.r.t.
ID_MMFR0.AuxReg, but as the format and use of the auxiliary registers
is IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED, we can safely ignore this in the kernel.
This difference may be of importance to hypervisors, however.
* We don't sanity check ID_AA64DFR{0,1}_EL1 but rely on consistent debug
feature support across CPUs (at least in terms of the number of
watchpoints and breakpoints).
* A missing newline in a format string leads to odd output in the case
of a sanity check failure.
The series has been tested on Juno and models, and no issues have been
seen.
Thanks,
Mark.
