Despite the spec does not seem to mention this, on some implementations,
when the STE configuration switches from an S1+S2 cfg to an S1 only one,
a C_BAD_STE error would happen if dst[3] (S2TTB) is not reset.

Can you provide more details, since it's not clear whether this is a hardware erratum workaround or a bodge around the driver itself doing something wrong like not doing a proper break-before-make transition of the STE. The architecture explicitly states that all the STE.S2* fields except S2VMID and potentially S2S are ignored when Stage 2 is bypassed.

Thanks,
Robin.

Explicitly reset those two higher 64b fields, to prevent that.

Note that this is not a bug at this moment, since a 2-stage translation
setup is not yet enabled, until the following patches add its support.
