I've just checked and it seems that I've been keeping the change for
MPIDR_AFFINITY_LEVEL() since vgic-old era where it was used with

static u32 compress_mpidr(unsigned long mpidr)
{
        u32 ret;

        ret = MPIDR_AFFINITY_LEVEL(mpidr, 0);
        ret |= MPIDR_AFFINITY_LEVEL(mpidr, 1) << 8;
        ret |= MPIDR_AFFINITY_LEVEL(mpidr, 2) << 16;
        ret |= MPIDR_AFFINITY_LEVEL(mpidr, 3) << 24;

        return ret;
}

and now that code gone and nobody passes level 3 into this macro, so I
can drop this change.

However, I do need MPIDR_LEVEL_SHIFT() macro since it is used in vgic-v3.

Should I leave patch as is or you have something in mind?

Cheers
Vladimir
