[PATCH 0/6] arm64/cpufeature: Make use of sysreg helpers for hwcaps

[Mark Brown <broonie@kernel.org>]

Now that all the ID registers we use have been converted to automatic
register generation we can start to make use of the regular definitions
we have for the registers and their bitfields to make the hwcap tables
easier to write and review.  This series does that, updating the macros
used to generate the hwcaps to provide what should be clearer and less
error prone specifications for the hwcaps.  We move from specifying like
this:

      HWCAP_CAP(SYS_ID_AA64PFR1_EL1, ID_AA64PFR1_EL1_BT_SHIFT, 4, FTR_UNSIGNED, ID_AA64PFR1_EL1_BT_IMP, CAP_HWCAP, KERNEL_HWCAP_BTI),

to this:

      HWCAP_CAP(ID_AA64PFR1_EL1, BT, IMP, CAP_HWCAP, KERNEL_HWCAP_BTI),

which is shorter due to having less duplicate information and makes it
much harder to make an error like specifying the wrong field width or
an invalid enumeration value since everything must be a constant defined
for the sysreg and names are only typed once.

I'm posting it now in the hope of getting some review before v6.2-rc1
comes around, changing this will cause dependency issues for any series
adding new features so if we're going to do it it's probably helpful to
get it merged relatively early.

While doing this I found some errors which I have previously posted,
I've rolled those fixes into this series for simplicity.
