Actually, looking more closely, it appears mpidr_hash_ptr can be
dropped completely:
the address obtained by adrp/add is PC relative, so the whole sequence
could just be

adrp x8, mpidr_hash
add x8, x8, #:lo12:mpidr_hash // x8 = struct mpidr_hash phys address

(and the ldr and add below can be dropped, and so can mpidr_hash_ptr at the end)
