Ard also spotted this issue [1], along with another issue we still need
to solve. In the mean time it would be nice to have this fixed, so:

Reported-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org>
Acked-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com>

Daniel, Thomas,

Could one of you please pick this up as a fix, with the above tags?

Thanks,
Mark.
