Re: [PATCH] ARM: mvebu: fix Cortex-A9 errata selection for Armada 38x

Hello Qingfang Deng,

I think that the very early version used r2p0.

The logs that I have from various Armada 38x show the CPU: ARMv7
Processor [414fc091] revision 1 (ARMv7). The value 414fc091 is the
MIDR. The MIDR indicates that the CPU is a CortexA9 at revision 4p1. 

The logs that I checked are more than 10 years old. We can now safely
apply this change.

Applied on mvebu/arm
