ARM Trusted Firmware exports a series of build flags which control the
errata workarounds that are applied to each CPU by the reset handler. The
errata details can be found in the CPU specific errata documents published
by ARM. The errata workarounds are implemented for a particular revision
or a set of processor revisions. This is checked by reset handler at runtime.
Each errata workaround is identified by its `ID` as specified in the processor's

The errata workarounds are implemented for a particular revision or a set of
processor revisions. This is checked by the reset handler at runtime. Each
errata workaround is identified by its `ID` as specified in the processor's
errata notice document. The format of the define used to enable/disable the
errata workaround is `ERRATA_<Processor name>_<ID>`, where the `Processor name`
is for example `A57` for the `Cortex_A57` CPU.

All workarounds are disabled by default. The platform is responsible for
enabling these workarounds according to its requirement by defining the
