This and the other two patches... _detect_ the erratum, but there are
no patches that actually use the information. Mainline has such code
(3c68b8fffb48c0018c24e73c48f2bac768c6203e) but it was not queued for
stable.

So all this is simply adding unused code, and not suitable for stable.

Best regards,
