Actually Conor changed that for Zbb in 
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20241024-aspire-rectify-9982da6943e5@spud/T/#m89d45ba3cbc6c2f953516c0e9977fecf397809b0 
which is queued for 6.15.

Zba is also used in BPF, so we should not require that the toolchain 
supports zba but instead just that the platform supports it.

Thanks,

Alex
