Add ADI (Application Data Integrity) capability to cpu capabilities list.
ADI capability allows virtual addresses to be encoded with a tag in
bits 63-60. This tag serves as an access control key for the regions
of virtual address with ADI enabled and a key set on them. Hypervisor
encodes this capability as "adp" in "hwcap-list" property in machine
description.

Why is it necessary to change the string from adp to adi in this output?


adi is the externally visible name for this feature and that is how it is referenced in the docs. Firmware encodes it as "adp" for its internal use and that is how it shows up in hwcap-list property. So this code translates it from firmware internal name to the external name which would make sense to someone looking at /proc/cpuinfo.

Thanks,
