Thinking further, we can define CPU_TYPE_RZG_MASK as 0x1000. The value CPU_TYPE_RZG_MASK | SOC_PR Is added into tfa_cpu_info table.

We just match  PRR of the SoC  and compatible string from TFA with smaller array table. If match found, we set cputype= CPU_TYPE_RZG_MASK | SOC_PR.
Then the remaining logic in the code works as usual and changes are minimal.

I prefer this match function to be vendor specific, iterating cputype in smaller array(tfa_cpu_info ) is faster than iterating compatible string from device tree.

Please share your views on this.

Cheers,
Biju
