The Kryo CPUs are also affected by the Falkor 1003 errata, so
we need to do the same workaround on Kryo CPUs. The MIDR is
slightly more complicated here, where the PART number is not
always the same when looking at all the bits from 15 to 4. Drop
the lower 8 bits and just look at the top 4 to see if it's '2'
and then consider those as Kryo CPUs. This covers all the
combinations without having to list them all out.

We may need to introduce another Kconfig option to block software PAN
from being enabled when this errata is enabled (and then have software PAN
depend on this new config being false).
It depends on whether you'd want to use SW PAN together with these CPUs.
From a defconfig + single Image perspective, SW PAN is disabled but it
would be nice to allow single Image with both E1003 and SW PAN configs
enabled (though SW PAN wouldn't be used at run-time).

As a quick hack, something like below but we may want to add a separate
cap bit as a minor optimisation (not sure it makes a difference).
Untested:

 }

Otherwise, I can take a look at updating the software PAN implementation
to handle this errata, but that is probably a dead-end?
It will probably be more intrusive and would also make SW PAN a lot
slower. I don't think it's worth it.
