Ok, so of the currently-known-and-mitigated errata, you'll be affected by:
ARM64_ERRATUM_2139208
ARM64_ERRATUM_2067961
ARM64_ERRATUM_2253138
.. and we'll need to extend the midr_range lists for those errata to cover
Azure Cobalt 100.
>From your patch, it looks like the Azure Cobalt 100 MIDR value (0x6D0FD490) is
the same as the Arm Neoverse-N2 r0p0 MIDR value (0x410FD490), except the
'Implementer' field is 0x6D ('m' in ASCII) rather than 0x41 ('A' in ASCII).
Are you happy to send a patch extending arch/arm64/include/asm/cputype.h with
the relevant ARM_CPU_IMP_* and CPU_PART_* definitions, and use those to extend
the midr_range lists for those errata?
As above, if you could make any comment on how the MIDR_EL1.{Variant,Revision}
fields map to that of Arm Neoverse-N2, it would be very helpful. It's not clear
to me whether those fields correspond directly (and so this part is based on
r0p0), or whether you have a different scheme for revision numbers. That'll
matter for correctly matching any future errata and/or future revisions of
Azure Cobalt 100.
Mark.
