Revert workaround for Neoverse N1 erratum 1800710
...
This reverts commit 11af40b , reversing
changes made to 2afcf1d .
This errata workaround did not work as intended so we are reverting this
change. In the future, when the corrected workaround is published in an
SDEN, we will push a new workaround.
This is the patch being reverted:

Workaround for Neoverse N1 erratum 1800710
...
Neoverse N1 erratum 1800710 is a Cat B erratum, present in older
revisions of the Neoverse N1 processor core. The workaround is to
set a bit in the ECTLR_EL1 system register, which disables allocation
of splintered pages in the L2 TLB.
This errata is explained in this SDEN:

Neovers N1: added support to update presence of External LLC
...
CPUECTLR_EL1.EXTLLC bit indicates the presense of internal or external
last level cache(LLC) in the system, the reset value is internal LLC.
To cater for the platforms(like N1SDP) which has external LLC present
introduce a new build option 'NEOVERSE_N1_EXTERNAL_LLC' which can be
enabled by platform port.

Prevent speculative execution past ERET
...
Even though ERET always causes a jump to another address, aarch64 CPUs
speculatively execute following instructions as if the ERET
instruction was not a jump instruction.
The speculative execution does not cross privilege-levels (to the jump
target as one would expect), but it continues on the kernel privilege
level as if the ERET instruction did not change the control flow -
thus execution anything that is accidentally linked after the ERET
instruction. Later, the results of this speculative execution are
always architecturally discarded, however they can leak data using
microarchitectural side channels. This speculative execution is very
reliable (seems to be unconditional) and it manages to complete even
relatively performance-heavy operations (e.g. multiple dependent
fetches from uncached memory).
This was fixed in Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD and Optee OS:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/679db70801da9fda91d26caf13bf5b5ccc74e8e8
https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/commit/29fb48ace4186a41c409fde52bcf4216e9e50b61
https://github.com/openbsd/src/commit/3a08873ece1cb28ace89fd65e8f3c1375cc98de2
https://github.com/OP-TEE/optee_os/commit/abfd092aa19f9c0251e3d5551e2d68a9ebcfec8a
It is demonstrated in a SafeSide example:

Neoverse N1 Errata Workaround 1542419
...
Coherent I-cache is causing a prefetch violation where when the core
executes an instruction that has recently been modified, the core might
fetch a stale instruction which violates the ordering of instruction
fetches.
The workaround includes an instruction sequence to implementation
defined registers to trap all EL0 IC IVAU instructions to EL3 and a trap
handler to execute a TLB inner-shareable invalidation to an arbitrary
address followed by a DSB.

Apply compile-time check for AArch64-only cores
...
Some cores support only AArch64 mode. In those cores, only a limited
subset of the AArch32 system registers are implemented. Hence, if TF-A
is supposed to run on AArch64-only cores, it must be compiled with
CTX_INCLUDE_AARCH32_REGS=0.
Currently, the default settings for compiling TF-A are with the AArch32
system registers included. So, if we compile TF-A the default way and
attempt to run it on an AArch64-only core, we only get a runtime panic.
Now a compile-time check has been added to ensure that this flag has the
appropriate value when AArch64-only cores are included in the build.

Add compile-time errors for HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY flag
...
This patch fixes this issue:
https://github.com/ARM-software/tf-issues/issues/660
The introduced changes are the following:
1) Some cores implement cache coherency maintenance operation on the
hardware level. For those cores, such as - but not only - the DynamIQ
cores, it is mandatory that TF-A is compiled with the
HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY flag. If not, the core behaviour at runtime is
unpredictable. To prevent this, compile time checks have been added and
compilation errors are generated, if needed.
2) To enable this change for FVP, a logical separation has been done for
the core libraries. A system cannot contain cores of both groups, i.e.
cores that manage coherency on hardware and cores that don't do it. As
such, depending on the HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY flag, FVP includes the
libraries only of the relevant cores.
3) The neoverse_e1.S file has been added to the FVP sources.
