I have noticed one slight practical difference with your patch... Mine used:
+  <xi:include href="arm-fpa.xml"/>

whereas yours enumerates all the FPA registers, but with the name set to
"", which is better - I hadn't been aware of that property of not showing
a reg if the name is empty.

True. I thought I needed to reset it if it got set further up, but now I
see that couldn't happen ( because !tdesc_has_registers in that case)

So perhaps should we just go with your version of the patch after all?
It's effectively identical other than the above FPA name improvement.
