Where is the difference between the errata code for above new 
CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_794072 and the existing

#ifdef CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_742230
	mrc	p15, 0, r0, c15, c0, 1	@ read diagnostic register
	orr	r0, r0, #1 << 4		@ set bit #4
	mcr	p15, 0, r0, c15, c0, 1	@ write diagnostic register
#endif

?

Maybe we should just do a

#if (defined(CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_794072) || defined(CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_742230))

?

Best regards
