Hi Oscar,

I've not gone through these in detail, but I have run some
quick smoke tests and all seems fine with the out of tree arm64
patches we are carrying (with the obvious changes to match
up with those for other architectures that you make in this set).

Tested-by: Jonathan Cameron <Jonathan.Cameron@...wei.com>

In particular (as expected) it fixes the issue you mention above
so I can drop the hack I had in place to avoid that :)

Thanks,

Jonathan
