But does it actually matter even then? If we're only allowed to program
the same ASID that was in use beforehand, then logically we can't be
changing TCR2.AS in a way that makes any difference anyway.

I see no point in pretending to worry about theoretical architectural
correctness in a driver tied to specific implementations that already
violate the given architecture in many other ways. If there's a known
firmware implementation that definitely requires this, that should be
called out; otherwise, there doesn't seem much justification for the
patch at all.

Thanks,
Robin.
