Please keep the columns aligned. If the affected component doesn't fit
in the allocated space, use multiple lines, or write it in a condensed
way (Hip0{5,6,7} for example). Also, please use spaces instead of tabs
to match the rest of the file.

You seem to be doing two things in this patch:
- Introducing a more generic erratum handling mechanism
- Adding a workaround for your particular erratum

Please make this two patches.

How has this number of retries been determined?

Please document why ignoring the bottom 5 bits is a reasonable thing to do.

Please pick a side. This is either called 161X01 or 161201.

I don't think you need this indirection. You should be able to set the
erratum_workaround pointer, and test that only to enable the OOL access.

Since you're now going to through a pointer indirection
(erratum_workaround), why do you need this export? Why aren't all these
function static? How does it work with modules that need to access
cntvct_el0 (hint: it probably doesn't...)?

I don't think we need any of this.

Since the two erratum are allowed to be selected independently, you
shouldn't lump them together here.

Get rid of arch_timer_uses_erratum, of the erratum identifier in the
structure, and put a static string in there. That should do everything
you need.
