This doesn't reflect what the pseudocode says of a read of ICC_RPR_EL1
AFAICS. When the priority is activated, it is indeed shifted. But a
read of RPR does appear to shift things back (and you loose the lowest
bit in the process). Please see 'aarch64/support/ICC_RPR_EL1' in the
architecture spec.

Can you confirm that SCR_EL3.FIQ is set on your system?

Thanks,
