commit 993e3d96fd08c3ebf7566e43be9b8cd622063e6d upstream.
The device tree CPU features binding includes FSCR bit numbers which Linux is instructed to set by firmware.
Whether that's a good idea or not, in the case of the DSCR the Linux implementation has a hard requirement that the FSCR_DSCR bit not be set by default. We use it to track when a process reads/writes to DSCR, so it must be clear to begin with.
So if firmware tells us to set FSCR_DSCR we must ignore it.
Currently this does not cause a bug in our DSCR handling because the value of FSCR that the device tree CPU features code establishes is only used by swapper. All other tasks use the value hard coded in init_task.thread.fscr.
However we'd like to fix that in a future commit, at which point this will become necessary.
