I've been looking at this in order to solve a merge conflict in next,
and couldn't convince myself that the above actually works.
__check_override assumes that the ID_AA64SMFR0_EL1 value is in x1, and
I guess that the intent of the code is to reuse value read a few lines
above. But as the comment says at the beginning of the macro, x1 will
be clobbered, and the checks always fails.
I presume we're just lucky that sme2_kernel_enable() does the same
thing unconditionally, which probably means this was only ever tested
with a VHE kernel (it'd otherwise catch fire).
The easiest fix is just to reload the id register before checking it,
something like the patch below, compile-tested only.

Subject: [PATCH] arm64/sme: Fix __finalise_el2 SMEver check
When checking for ID_AA64SMFR0_EL1.SMEver, __check_override assumes
that the ID_AA64SMFR0_EL1 value is in x1, and the intent of the code
is to reuse value read a few lines above.
However, as the comment says at the beginning of the macro, x1 will
be clobbered, and the checks always fails.
The easiest fix is just to reload the id register before checking it.
