Okay.

Okay, I get it. I misunderstood the patch. It's fine.

But here you are not reseting the cluster but reseting a CPU. Very
similar function exists already - for waiting on SPARE2 and reseting
CPU. I don't see what multiple clusters are changing here?

Right, no one... at least publicly (probably the guys who have access to
sources of BL1/BL2 know). Still it is important to document the reason
why we think these steps are necessary. Some 3rd party developer won't
have a clue why you are spinning on some SPARE2 register...
