It is, but we should warn if CONFIG_ARM64_ERRATUM_843419 is selected and the linked doesn't support the --fix-cortex-a53-843419 option:
ld does not support --fix-cortex-a53-843419; kernel may be susceptible to erratum)
... do you see this when building the kernel?

I beleive these are all beningn. AFAICT, none of these meet the conditions for sequence 1 or sequence 2 affected by the erratum. e.g. many don't have loads/stores using the adrp result.
Thanks, Mark.
