Doing some searching, u-boot had a workaround for something called
ARM_ERRATA_794072.

https://github.com/u-boot/u-boot/commit/f71cbfe3ca5d2ad20159871700e8e248c8818ba8

Lore has the review history for that patch:

It looks like it's the same workaround as ARM_ERRATA_742230, which the
kernel does implement.

It would be good to hear from the Nuvoton people, or an Arm person.

Cheers,

Joel
