Can we relax some sanity checking for these by making it FTR_NONSTRICT
or by some other means? I just tried below roughly for SM8150 but I
guess this is not correct,
maybe for ftr_generic_32bits we should be checking bootcpu and nonboot
cpu partnum(to identify big.LITTLE) and then make it nonstrict?
These are all my wild assumptions, please correct me if I am wrong.
