Sorry for the delay. I gave this a test because I observed the warning 
that was added on the Tegra194 and Tegra234 platforms. This change fixes 
the warning for Tegra234, but on Tegra194 the platforms I tested hang on 
boot. It appears to be similar to the issue that Marek saw on his 
platforms and so I am wondering if Tegra194 also doesn't have this wired up?

Was there any resolution to the issue reported by Marek?

FYI, the Tegra194 SoC has the 'NVIDIA Carmel ARM v8.2' CPUs [0].
