Hey Heiko,
Couple comments, mostly nitpicky sorts of things..

Code aside, this reads somewhat confusingly. How come riscv doesn't have
further information to offer?

Even if we don't have anything from a riscv point of view, it would read
better if this statement mentioned what it is about arm64 that requires
more information. Something like "for more information on arm64 only
fetures x, y & z".

This file does not comply to 80 character limits to begin with, so I
think this would be better on an 82 character line than broken up.

I assume checkpatch will whinge about the alignment here.

Mixed use of whitespace here, some are spaces and some tabs..

Thanks,
Conor.
