I sent out a fix for this yesterday:
	https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/6162249d-dc0f-8755-9439-3ada8a88f424@arm.com/T/#t

Kristina also noticed cpu-feature-registers.rst hadn't been updated either, so I was just about to
send out a v2 that matches your patches. I won't do that since you've just done it!
