Ok, how about this:

arm64: qcom: do not use x1 when calling pre_ttbr0_update_workaround

"Fix the kernel panic() on QDF2400 platform" could mean almost anything. 
There could plenty of future kernel panics on the QDF2400.

Also, I think our legal review would insist on saying "Qualcomm Technologies 
QDF2400", which would make the line too long.
