I guess there is no other way around apart from each TRBE instance
tracking applicable erratas locally per CPU, even though it sounds
bit redundant.

It also ensures that the generic errata framework is queried just
once during individual CPU probe.

This needs to be tighten up. There should be build time guard rails in
arm64 errata cpucaps, so that only TRBE specific ones could be assigned
here as trbe_errata_cpucaps[].

BUILD_BUG_ON() - if trbe_errata_cpucaps[i] is not inside TRBE specific
errata cpucap range ?

Switch the argument positions here ? 'int i' should be the second one.

This should be called right at the end before arm_trbe_probe_cpu() exits
on the success path. Errata should not be evaluated if TRBE on the CPU
wont be used for some reason i.e cpumask_clear_cpu() path.

This patch should be moved after [PATCH 5/10] i.e just before adding the
first TRBE errata.
