So the reason for this move is to include it in asm/cache.h. Fine by
me but...

... I'd rather move all these definitions in a file with a more
meaningful name like mte-def.h. The _asm implies being meant for .S
files inclusion which isn't the case.

The mte_assign_valid_ptr_tag() is slightly misleading. All it does is
read the allocation tag from memory.

I also think this should be inline asm, possibly using alternatives.
It's just an LDG instruction (and it saves us from having to invent a
better function name).

Could you point me to an example of inline asm with alternatives if
there's any? I see alternative_if and other similar macros used in
arch/arm64/ code, is that what you mean? Those seem to always use
static conditions, like config values, but here we have a dynamic
system_supports_mte(). Could you elaborate on how I should implement
this?
