Buggy branch in __init_el2_gicv3?

In init_el2_state calls __init_el2_gicv3 which looks:
/* GICv3 system register access */
.macro __init_el2_gicv3
mrs x0, id_aa64pfr0_el1
ubfx x0, x0, #ID_AA64PFR0_GIC_SHIFT, #4
cbz x0, .Lskip_gicv3_\@
mrs_s x0, SYS_ICC_SRE_EL2
orr x0, x0, #ICC_SRE_EL2_SRE // Set ICC_SRE_EL2.SRE==1
orr x0, x0, #ICC_SRE_EL2_ENABLE // Set ICC_SRE_EL2.Enable==1
msr_s SYS_ICC_SRE_EL2, x0
isb // Make sure SRE is now set
mrs_s x0, SYS_ICC_SRE_EL2 // Read SRE back,
tbz x0, #0, 1f
// tbz x0, #0, .Lskip_gicv3_\@ // and check that it sticks
msr_s SYS_ICH_HCR_EL2, xzr // Reset ICC_HCR_EL2 to defaults
.Lskip_gicv3_\@:
.endm
Note the tbz x0, #0, 1f, this instruction causes my A53 CPU to jump far out of the macro and make the
CPU go into EL0, failing with an exception a bit later. I believe the 1f is a bug and if I replace it with
tbz x0, #0, .Lskip_gicv3_\@
the CPU continue too boot.
Why this is trigged is still a mystery to me, any pointers welcome :)
