Are you referring to the following rules in the register descriptions ?


The reset behavior of this field is:

On a Warm reset:
— When the highest implemented Exception level is EL2, this field resets to 0 .
— Otherwise, this field resets to an architecturally UNKNOWN value. <========

FEAT_FGT2 is a new feature, so are its corresponding registers as listed
above. Hence I guess resetting them all to zero should be fine ?

        if (mrs_field(ID_AA64MMFR0_EL1, FGT) >= 2) {
                scr |= SCR_EL3_FGTEN2;
                msr(HDFGRTR2_EL2, 0);
                msr(HDFGWTR2_EL2, 0);
                msr(HFGITR2_EL2, 0);
                msr(HFGRTR2_EL2, 0);
                msr(HFGWTR2_EL2, 0);
        }

Sure, will audit for existing FEAT_FGT register reset values depending on what
is currently supported in the kernel and follow up on with TFA changes as well.
