We got a similar patch one month ago and Russell King pointed that it
didn't match waht he saw on his MACCHIATObin:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2018-November/612360.html

on mine under U-Boot I got:

In my case I have an old ATF, however this kind of setting should be
done by the bootloader.

I am interested by your claim about causing an immediate crash when
accessing this region. How did you trigger it?

Gregory
