H A Dallwinner-common.mkd86ddcef6fee6d48285dd781f21dc44cdb3a8a45 Mon Sep 01 00:06:49 UTC 2025 Andre Przywara <andre.przywara@arm.com> build(allwinner): disable unneeded CVE workarounds and MPAM

There are a number of workarounds for CVEs related to sidechannel
attacks on some CPU cores, most of them listed here:
https://developer.arm.com/documentation/110280/latest/
Also there are two other CVEs:
https://developer.arm.com/documentation/110324/latest/
https://developer.arm.com/documentation/110326/latest/

As these page reveals, those workaround do not apply to the Cortex-A53
(or A55) cores, so we can safely disable them in the Allwinner build
recipes, since they only use those two cores so far.

Also disable FEAT_MPAM, which is one of the only three later features
that are enabled default, but are not enabled in Cortex-A53 or A55
cores. Use the opportunity to group those options together and improve
the comment.

This decreases the code size by a few hundred bytes.
