Since we now have a second user for this workaround, would it
make sense to:
1. factor out the existing ARM64_WORKAROUND_NVIDIA_CARMEL_CNP into a common capability,
   for example ARM64_WORKAROUND_DISABLE_CNP
2. wire up erratum 162100125 to use the common ARM64_WORKAROUND_DISABLE_CNP capability?

Cheers
