The Cortex-A9 r4 Software Developers Errata Notice (ARM UAN 0009D),
section 2.3.3, lists erratum 754322 as affecting all r2, r3 and r4
revisions. The Kconfig help text currently mentions only r2 and r3.
Add r4p* to the affected revisions so that users configuring Cortex-A9
r4 systems know that the workaround also applies to them.

This option enables the workaround for the 754322 Cortex-A9 (r2p*,
- r3p*) erratum. A speculative memory access may cause a page table walk
- which starts prior to an ASID switch but completes afterwards. This
- can populate the micro-TLB with a stale entry which may be hit with
- the new ASID. This workaround places two dsb instructions in the mm
- switching code so that no page table walks can cross the ASID switch.
