ARM instruction "srs" wrong behaviour

Quote from ARM Architecture Reference Manual ARMv7-A and ARMv7-R :
"Store Return State stores the LR and SPSR of the current mode to the stack of a specified mode"

Problem:
When executing this instruction, the register stored is CPSR instead of SPSR.

Context:
Using QEMU 1.2.0 to simulate a Zynq application (processor Cortex-a9 mpcore) with the following command line:
qemu-system-arm -M xilinx-zynq-a9 -m 512 -serial null -serial mon:stdio -dtb /home/vcesson/workspace/xilinx_zynq.dtb -kernel install/tests/io/serial/current/tests/serial2 -S -s -nographic

It looks like this is only a problem in Thumb mode; the equivalent bug in ARM mode was fixed in commit c67b6b71 back in 2009.

Can you make the test case dtb and image available? That would help in testing...
