The patch itself looks fine, but I'm going to reword the commit message for clarity:

| aarch64: Enable access to MDSELR_EL1 from EL2 and below
| 
| FEAT_Debugv8p9 adds a new MDSELR_EL1 register to select between banks of
| breakpoints and watchpoints. Accesses to MDSELR_EL1 from EL2 and below trap
| to EL3 unless MDCR_EL3.EBWE is set.
| 
| Enable access to MDSELR_EL1 when it is implemented.

Mark.
