The AArch64 TCR_ELx register is a 64-bit register, and many newer architecture features use bits in the upper half. So far U-Boot was igorant of those bits, trying to leave them alone. However, in an effort to set bit 31 to 1, it failed doing so, because the compiler sign-extended "1 << 31", so that all bits[63:31] got set. Older ARMv8.0 cores don't define anything dangerous up there, but newer architecture revisions do, and setting all those bits will end badly: ================= $ qemu-system-aarch64 -cpu max .... U-Boot 2022.07-rc1 (May 09 2022 - 15:21:00 +0100) DRAM: 1.5 GiB ================= (hangs here) Defining TCR_ELx_RSVD to "1U << 31" avoids the sign-extension, so all upper bits stay at a safe 0 value. This means no more surprises when U-Boot runs on a more capable CPU core.
