Hi Anders,

Thanks for the fix.

Someone else spotted the same bug, and sent a similar fix, and I asked
Will or Catalin to take it through the arm64 for-next tree since this
is where the offending patch lives.

So for either this patch or for the other one

Acked-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org>
