Yes, this straightforward change looks ok to me.

Why do you think it affects OMAP4?

OMAP4 uses Cortex-A9 with totally different bits in Auxiliary Control Register.
This ASA bit (and the patch) is only relevant for Cortex-A8.

Anyway, additional testing and ACK would be surely welcome :-)

Is there anything else expected to be done from my side? As I mentioned before,
I would really prefer if TI could deal with this stuff themselves. Just because
they ought to have all the most relevant information.
