[ Upstream commit851354cbd1] The AppliedMicro XGene-1 CPU has an erratum where the timer condition would only consider TVAL, not CVAL. We currently apply a workaround when seeing the PartNum field of MIDR_EL1 being 0x000, under the assumption that this would match only the XGene-1 CPU model. However even the Ampere eMAG (aka XGene-3) uses that same part number, and only differs in the "Variant" and "Revision" fields: XGene-1's MIDR is 0x500f0000, our eMAG reports 0x503f0002. Experiments show the latter doesn't show the faulty behaviour. Increase the specificity of the check to only consider partnum 0x000 and variant 0x00, to exclude the Ampere eMAG.

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.
