Thanks for suggestions, Mark & Robin.

I enabled these debugging configs but cannot get clue from it; but
occasionally found this issue is quite likely related with CA53 errata,
especialy ERRATA_A53_855873 is the relative one. So I changed to use
ARM-TF mainline code with ERRATA fixing, this issue can be dismissed.

Please ignore this regression reporting.
