[Alison Wang] Of course, although I add these patches to support aarch32
kernel, I should make sure aarch64 kernel work too.

If you are using ARM Trusted Firmware to boot u-boot, I want to know what
EL is running for your U-Boot. If it is running in EL2 or EL1, please add
the attached patch to test again.
