Are you sure about this? From the discussion in the chat the conclusion
was that we can check easily for TF-A, but we have absolutely no idea
what Qualcomm's firmware implementation does. It might be "broken" the
same way and we just have not noticed it yet.

I would perhaps just omit this sentence so we don't risk misleading
someone with information we're not sure about. :)

What about sc7280? I guess they use largely the same TF-A firmware?
