Thanks for your patch!

This makes the entry inconsistent with all others.
So we can either add the "u" suffix everywhere, or add a cast to
"u32" to the definitions[1] of MIDR_CPU_MODEL().

[1] There are two: in arch/arm64/include/asm/cputype.h and in
    tools/arch/arm64/include/asm/cputype.h.
    Looks like the second file is a copy of the first, but still lacking the
    AMPERE definitions.
    I guess it should be replaced by a symlink, to keep them in sync.

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
