[boot-wrapper PATCH 1/2] aarch64: Document what we're doing when setting ZCR_EL3.LEN

[broonie at kernel.org]

From: Mark Brown <broonie at kernel.org>

The enumeration and configuration algorithm for SVE vector lengths is not
100% obvious so add a comment explaining what's going on in case someone
looks at this code as a reference. If this is ever used on hardware with
asymmetric vector lengths we will need to handle this differently to meet
Linux's boot requirements but this is not a present issue and such hardware
would be fairly surprising.
