It seems the patch wasn't tested on any real platform, I did on my

it going again. I am happy to try any fix.

Please try to remove adcls line.
Seems like this affects only systems where PHYS_OFFSET == PAGE_OFFSET.

Yup, restores boot.
Can somebody write this up as a proper patch and put it in the patch system
please?

Ok. Done.

ARM: LPAE: drop wrong carry flag correction after adding TTBR1_OFFSET

From: Konstantin Khlebnikov <k.khlebnikov@xxxxxxxxxxx>

In commit 7fb00c2fca4b6c58be521eb3676cf4b4ba8dde3b ("ARM: 8114/1: LPAE:
load upper bits of early TTBR0/TTBR1") part which fixes carrying in adding
TTBR1_OFFSET to TTRR1 was wrong:

addls \ttbr1, \ttbr1, #TTBR1_OFFSET
adcls \tmp, \tmp, #0

addls doesn't update flags, adcls adds carry from cmp above:

cmp \ttbr1, \tmp @ PHYS_OFFSET > PAGE_OFFSET?

Condition 'ls' means carry flag is clear or zero flag is set, thus only one
case is affected: when PHYS_OFFSET == PAGE_OFFSET.

It seems safer to remove this fixup. Bug is here for ages and nobody
complained. Let's fix it separately.
