In init_el2_state calls __init_el2_gicv3 which looks:

/* GICv3 system register access */
.macro __init_el2_gicv3
	mrs	x0, id_aa64pfr0_el1
	ubfx	x0, x0, #ID_AA64PFR0_GIC_SHIFT, #4
	cbz	x0, .Lskip_gicv3_\@

	mrs_s	x0, SYS_ICC_SRE_EL2
	orr	x0, x0, #ICC_SRE_EL2_SRE	// Set ICC_SRE_EL2.SRE==1
	orr	x0, x0, #ICC_SRE_EL2_ENABLE	// Set ICC_SRE_EL2.Enable==1
	msr_s	SYS_ICC_SRE_EL2, x0
	isb					// Make sure SRE is now set
	mrs_s	x0, SYS_ICC_SRE_EL2		// Read SRE back,
	tbz     x0, #0, 1f
//	tbz	x0, #0, .Lskip_gicv3_\@		// and check that it sticks
	msr_s	SYS_ICH_HCR_EL2, xzr		// Reset ICC_HCR_EL2 to defaults
.Lskip_gicv3_\@:
.endm

Note the tbz     x0, #0, 1f, this instruction causes my A53 CPU to jump far out of the macro and make the
CPU go into EL0, failing with an exception a bit later. I believe the 1f is a bug and if I replace it with
 tbz	x0, #0, .Lskip_gicv3_\@
the CPU continue too boot.
Why this is trigged is still a mystery to me, any pointers welcome :)
