Reiji Watanabe 9dc232a8ab arm64: arm64_ftr_reg->name may not be a human-readable string
The id argument of ARM64_FTR_REG_OVERRIDE() is used for two purposes:
one as the system register encoding (used for the sys_id field of
__ftr_reg_entry), and the other as the register name (stringified
and used for the name field of arm64_ftr_reg), which is debug
information. The id argument is supposed to be a macro that
indicates an encoding of the register (eg. SYS_ID_AA64PFR0_EL1, etc).

ARM64_FTR_REG(), which also has the same id argument,
uses ARM64_FTR_REG_OVERRIDE() and passes the id to the macro.
Since the id argument is completely macro-expanded before it is
substituted into a macro body of ARM64_FTR_REG_OVERRIDE(),
the stringified id in the body of ARM64_FTR_REG_OVERRIDE is not
a human-readable register name, but a string of numeric bitwise
operations.

Fix this so that human-readable register names are available as
debug information.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
