Sure. This series doesn't do a lot on its own, it expects firmware-first or
kernel-first support, which may in turn depend-on this feature. It means we
don't panic() when notified of corrected errors, until we get the
{firmware,kernel}-first support.
Don't defconfig changes get collected by arm-soc? (I'm not sure how these get
picked up...)
