OK here it is. Please feel free to merge this into your tree directly
as it no longer has any dependency issues with other patches.

Subject: [PATCH] ARM64: FIQs are unused
So any FIQ handling is superfluous at the moment. The functions to
disable/enable FIQs is kept around if ever someone needs them in the
future, but existing calling sites including arch_cpu_idle_prepare()
may go for now.
