Subject: [PATCH 4.19 43/48] ARM: 8957/1: VDSO: Match ARMv8 timer in cntvct_functional()

From: Florian Fainelli <f.fainelli@...il.com>

commit 45939ce292b4b11159719faaf60aba7d58d5fe33 upstream.

It is possible for a system with an ARMv8 timer to run a 32-bit kernel.
When this happens we will unconditionally have the vDSO code remove the
__vdso_gettimeofday and __vdso_clock_gettime symbols because
cntvct_functional() returns false since it does not match that
compatibility string.
