According to the Linux kernel source, this should only affect r1p*
(hence, not r2p0):
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/arch/arm/mm/proc-v7.S#n321

Erratum 458693 also sets L1NEON bit and is said to only affect r2p0
according to the Linux kernel source:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/arch/arm/mm/proc-v7.S#n321

I'm not sure this is relevant (different erratum but similar
workaround), but it seems odd to me.

Anyways, this worked just fine on my omap3630 device (> r2p1) and didn't
trigger the errata workarounds. I reckon someone would have to test on a
device that does require those workarounds (e.g. omap35xx).
