This doesn't look right. You're comparing the value userspace is
trying to set for a given level with the value that is already set for
that level, and forbid the cache line size to be smaller. It works if
no value has been set yet (you fallback to something derived from
CTR_EL0), but this fails if userspace does multiple writes.

The original check is against CTR_EL0, which makes absolute sense
because we want to check across the whole hierarchy. It is just that
the original code has two bugs:

- It fails to convert the CCSIDR_EL1.LineSize value to a number of
  words (the missing +4). Admire how the architecture is actively
  designed to be hostile to SW by providing two different formats for
  the cache line size, none of which is in... bytes.

- It passes the full CSSELR value to get_min_cache_line_size(), while
  this function wants a bool... Yes, there are times where you'd want
  a stronger type system (did anyone say Rust? ;-)

I propose that we fold something like the patch below in instead
(tested with get-reg-list).

Thanks,
