Hi,

When building an arm64 defconfig kernel from stable/linux-5.10.y and
booting that in QEMU (version: 1:7.0+dfsg-2~bpo11+2) with '-cpu max' the
kernel doesn't boot. I don't get any output.  The kernel boots fine if I
change to '-cpu cortex-a72'.

If I cherry-pick this patch to stable/linux-5.10.y I'm able too boot the
kernel with '-cpu max'.

However, I'm not comfortable to backport this patch to older kernels
since there are a lot of conflicts.
Can someone help out to do the packport?

Cheers,
Anders
