Sure, I'll remove it completely in v2 patch.

Yes, we've couple of advantages using the standard SMCCC_ARCH_WOKAROUND_1 framework.
- Improves the code readability.
- Avoid the unnecessary MIDR checks on each vCPU exit.
- Validates ID_AA64PFR0_CVS2 feature for Falkor chips.
- Avoids the 2nd link stack sanitization workaround in firmware.
