ARM: HYP/non-sec: remove MIDR check to validate CBAR

Having a form of whitelist to check if we know of a CPU core
and and obtain CBAR is a bit silly.

It doesn't scale (how about A12, A17, as well as other I don't know
about?), and is actually a property of the SoC, not the core.

So either it works and everybody is happy, or it doesn't and
the u-boot port to this SoC is providing the real address via
a configuration option.

The result of the above is that this code doesn't need to exist,
is thus forcefully removed.
