Hi Stefano, Errata 742230 applies to r1p0, r1p1, r1p2, r1p3, r2p0, r2p1, r2p2 revision of Cortex-A9. Errata 794072 applies to r1, 2, r3, r4 revisions. Software workaround is same for both.
Since diff products use diff revisions of core, I would suggest to have it this way. Otherwise it might lead to confusion if one has to enable 742230 (for 794072 workaround) even though the core revision does not need it.

We are already covered with CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_742230 and the work-around for dmb is already implemented.
