It looks like it's the same workaround as ARM_ERRATA_742230, which the
kernel does implement.

It would be good to hear from the Nuvoton people, or an Arm person.
I will happily update the patch to select ARM_ERRATA_742230 instead of
the dead non-existing ARM_ERRATA_794072.

In contrast to the current patch that basically only cleans up "dead
config" and has no effective functional change, the new patch would
change the behaviour. I cannot test this patch (beyond some basic
compile test) on the hardware; so, we certainly need someone to have
that hardware, knows how to test it or confirm otherwise that we
should select the ARM_ERRATA_742230 fix for this hardware.

The current patch should be subsumed by the new patch; the submission
of the new patch is deferred until that person shows up. Let's see.
I'd prefer to leave the broken Kconfig symbol in place as a reminder until it
gets fixed properly then.
