Is "161x01" the *exact* erratum number, or is the 'x' a wildcard? Please use the *exact* erratum number, even if that means we have to list several. Is "161x01" an *erratum* number, or the *part* number of affected devices?

Typically, we expect that each vendor has some central database of their errata, with each having a unique ID. If Huawei do not have such a database, I do not think that we should invent an erratum number here.

This erratum describes a bug in logic outside the core, so MIDR can't be used to identify its presence, and reading an SoC-specific revision register from common arch timer code would be awkward. So, describe it in the device tree.
