There are other forms that are supported on different ARM instruction sets but
generally the kernel just uses mcr as it is supported in all ARM instruction

Just for confirm: both forms are actually correct and we don't need this

Tony, would you like to pick this one up and send it in a pull request
to arm-soc, or should we apply it to fixes-non-critical directly?
Arnd
Arnd,
You can apply it directly to fixes-non-critical if that's ok.

Tony Prisk
