The following warning is being observed on Tegra194 and Tegra234 platforms ... arch_timer: [Firmware Bug]: VHE-capable CPU without EL2 virtual timer interrupt Adding the missing EL2 virtual timer in device-tree for Tegra194 and Tegra234 is causing boot issues for both devices. The Tegra194 device includes a GIC-400 which defines PPIs for sec-phys, phys, virt and hyp-phys timer interrupts (per the dt-binding arm,arch_timer.yaml) but there is no PPI hyp-virt (EL2 virtual) timer and hence this is not supported for this device. The Tegra234 device does have a PPI for the EL2 virtual timer, but during CPU idle transitions into low-power states this timer is not preserved currently by firmware and hence causes boot issues when CPU idle is enabled. Avoid the warning for Tegra194 and Tegra234 devices by marking the EL2 virtual timer as broken.
