Hi, I was looking into the arm64 boot code lately and stumbled upon some issues. Also Nishanth brought back memories of a lengthy debug session, which was caused due to U-Boot keeping SErrors masked. As the resulting patches are all somewhat related, I gathered this series here to address those problems.
Patches 1 to 3 address exception handling issues, with the SError enablement being the most prominent fix here. Patch 4 cleans up asm/io.h. This was on the list before[1], but was somehow lost when it was intercepted by a shorter version of itself. Patches 5 and 6 clean up some unnecessarily complicated AArch64 assembly code. I did only some light testing, as some code paths do not apply to boards I have (ARMV8_MULTIENTRY). Please have a look and test!
