Humm, it is an if (!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ARM64)) condition, so we would not
be taking that branch on an ARM64 kernel.
If you are saying the assignment is not necessary anymore after patch #5
, that is true, though this can only be done a part of part #5, not as
part of patch #4 in order not to break initrd functionality in-between
patches.

Not sure, I could be too, it's Monday after all :)
