Subject[PATCH] ARM: keystone: add a work around to handle asynchronous external abort
Date
Currently on some devices, an asynchronous external abort exception
happens during boot up when exception handlers are enabled in kernel
before switching to user space. This patch adds a workaround to handle
this once during boot. Many customers are already using this
with out any issues and is required to workaround the above issue.
