The Cortex-A9 r4 Software Developers Errata Notice (ARM UAN 0009D),
section 2.3.3, lists erratum 754322 as open (unresolved) and affecting
all r2, r3 and r4 revisions. The Kconfig help text currently mentions
only r2 and r3.
Update the help text to include all revisions from r2p0 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* and
+ later) 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
