From: Sascha Bischoff <Sascha.Bischoff at arm.com>
The checks for incomplete sysreg definitions were checking if the
next_bit was greater than 0, which is incorrect and missed occasions
where bit 0 hasn't been defined for a sysreg. The reason is that
next_bit is -1 when all bits have been processed (LSB - 1).
Change the checks to use >= 0, instead. Also, set next_bit in Mapping
to -1 instead of 0 to match these new checks.
There are no changes to the generated sysreg definitons as part of
this change, and conveniently no definitions lack definitions for bit
0.
