Subject: [PATCH] Remove ARM errata Workarounds 458693 and 460075
Date: Sat, 15 Apr 2017 19:06:06 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1492301166-10292-1-git-send-email-nisalmenuka23@gmail.com> (raw)

According to ARM, these errata exist only in a version of Cortex-A8
(r2p0) which was never built. Therefore, I believe there are no platforms
where this workaround should be enabled.

-	  This option enables the workaround for the 460075 Cortex-A8 (r2p0)
