This is a problem, but it's one that we can solve. We're in control of
gen-sysreg.awk and the language it parses, so we can make this an expected and
supported case -- see below.

It's certainly better to use the BRBINFx_EL1 name, but my main concern here is
to avoid the dummy values used above to satisfy the tools, so that those cannot
be accidentally misused.
I'd prefer that we fix gen-sysreg.awk to support Enum blocks within
SysregFields blocks (patch below), then use SysregFields as described above.
Thanks,
Mark.

Subject: [PATCH] arm64/sysreg: allow *Enum blocks in SysregFields blocks
We'd like to support Enum/SignedEnum/UnsignedEnum blocks within
SysregFields blocks, so that we can define enumerations for sets of
registers. This isn't currently supported by gen-sysreg.awk due to the
way we track the active block, which can't handle more than a single
layer of nesting, which imposes an awkward requirement that when ending
a block we know what the parent block is when calling change_block()
Make this nicer by using a stack of active blocks, with block_push() to
start a block, and block_pop() to end a block. Doing so means hat when
ending a block we don't need to know the parent block type, and checks
of the active block become more consistent. On top of that, it's easy to
permit *Enum blocks within both Sysreg and SysregFields blocks.
To aid debugging, the stack of active blocks is reported for fatal
errors, and an error is raised if the file is terminated without ending
the active block. For clarity I've renamed the top-level element from
"None" to "Root".
The Fields element it intended only for use within Systeg blocks, and
does not make sense within SysregFields blocks, and so remains forbidden
within a SysregFields block.
