Do you have this patch applied:

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.arm.kernel/492239

It's also queued into -next as commit 66dbd6e61a52.

No, but I just applied it, it works.

Thanks,

My kernel has ARM64_HW_AFDBM enabled, but LS2085 is not ARMv8.1.

The code shows it just check if ARM64_HW_AFDBM is enabled or not, but
doesn't check if the CPU really has such capability.

So, it might be better to have the capability checked runtime?

The warnings are there to spot any incorrect uses of the pte accessors
even before you run on AF/DBM-capable hardware.
