I think for clarity that should be:

| aarch64: Enable access to FGT2 registers from EL2 and below
| 
| FEAT_FGT2 adds a number of registers: HFGITR2_EL2, HFGRTR2_EL2,
| HFGWTR_EL2, HDFGRTR2_EL2, and HDFGWTR2_EL2. Acceses to these from EL2
| trap to EL3 unless SCR_EL3.FGTEN2 is set.
| 
| Enable access to the FGT2 registers when they are implemented.

However, I note that those registers have fields that reset to UNKNOWN values
when resets are taken to EL3. That means we must initialise those to sane
values to avoid breaking existing EL2 code with unexpected traps.

I know that we didn't do that for FGT, which really was a mistake.

I reckon we should reset all of the FGT regsiters to sane values (i.e. existing
features shouldn't trap, new features should trap). We'll also need to ensure
that Trusted Firmware does likewise...

Mark.
