I just realised that there is a small, but significant difference
between this and the arm64 version: On arm64, we have a table of
vulnerable implementations, and we try the mitigation on a per-cpu
basis. Here, you entirely rely on the firmware to discover whether the
CPU needs mitigation or not. You then need to check for a return value
of 1, which indicates that although the mitigation is implemented, it is
not required on this particular CPU.

But that's probably moot if you don't support BL systems.

My previous remark still stands: this is not really PSCI.

Thanks,
