I have try to reproduce the issue with a kernel build with my toolchain
and your defconfig, but it worked for me. Could you please share the
binaries so that it is easier to reproduce the issue?

I look at this patch again quickly, and I don't think the bug is
actually introduced by this commit, it is just that it does more strict
tests on the value. I guess it was working before by chance by loading
a random value into the register. That said to look deeper into it, it
would be better to be able to reproduce the issue.
