If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From c0b15c25d25171db4b70cc0b7dbc1130ee94017d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Suzuki K Poulose <suzuki.poulose@xxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 3 Feb 2021 23:00:57 +0000 Subject: arm64: Extend workaround for erratum 1024718 to all versions of Cortex-A55 From: Suzuki K Poulose <suzuki.poulose@xxxxxxx> commit c0b15c25d25171db4b70cc0b7dbc1130ee94017d upstream. The erratum 1024718 affects Cortex-A55 r0p0 to r2p0. However we apply the work around for r0p0 - r1p0. Unfortunately this won't be fixed for the future revisions for the CPU. Thus extend the work around for all versions of A55, to cover for r2p0 and any future revisions.
