fix(cpus): remove errata setting PF_MODE to conservative
The erratum titled “Disabling of data prefetcher with outstanding prefetch TLB miss might cause a deadlock” should not be handled within TF-A. The current workaround attempts to follow option 2 but misapplies it. Specifically, it statically sets PF_MODE to conservative, which is not the recommended approach. According to the erratum documentation, PF_MODE should be configured in conservative mode only when we disable data prefetcher however this is not done in TF-A and thus the workaround is not needed in TF-A.
The static setting of PF_MODE in TF-A does not correctly address the erratum and may introduce unnecessary performance degradation on platforms that adopt it without fully understanding its implications.
To prevent incorrect or unintended use, the current implementation of this erratum workaround should be removed from TF-A and not adopted by platforms.

fix(errata): workaround for Cortex A78 AE erratum 2395408
Cortex A78 AE erratum 2395408 is a Cat B erratum that applies to revisions <= r0p1. It is still open.
This erratum states, "A translation table walk that matches an existing L1 prefetch with a read request outstanding on CHI might fold into the prefetch, which might lead to data corruption for a future instruction fetch"
This erratum is avoided by setting CPUACTLR2_EL1[40] to 1 to disable folding of demand requests into older prefetches with L2 miss requests outstanding.

fix(errata): workaround for Cortex A78 AE erratum 2376748
Cortex A78 AE erratum 2376748 is a Cat B erratum that applies to revisions <= r0p1. It is still open.
The erratum states, "A PE executing a PLDW or PRFM PST instruction that lies on a mispredicted branch path might cause a second PE executing a store exclusive to the same cache line address to fail continuously."
The erratum is avoided by setting CPUACTLR2_EL1[0] to 1 to force PLDW/PFRM ST to behave like PLD/PRFM LD and not cause invalidations to other PE caches. There might be a small performance degradation to this workaround for certain workloads that share data.

The workaround is to write the value 2'b11 to the PF_MODE bits in the CPUECTLR_EL1 register which will place the data prefetcher in the most conservative mode instead of disabling it.
