I haven't verified the specific values, but this looks good to me aside from
one minor nit below.

We don't need a dummy declaration, as we have 'SysregFields' that can be used
for this, e.g.

  SysregFields BRBINFx_EL1
  ...
  EndSysregFields

... which will avoid accidental usage of the register encoding. Note that I've
also added an 'x' there in place of the index, which we do for other registers,
e.g. TTBRx_EL1.

Could you please update to that?

With that:
