I applied this series to a test branch of the arm-soc tree and pushed it
for build/boot testing at kernelci.org, which found a new build
failures[1] when building multi_v7_defconfig with CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL=y:

../arch/arm/kernel/smccc-call.S: Assembler messages:
../arch/arm/kernel/smccc-call.S:40: Error: too many positional arguments
../arch/arm/kernel/smccc-call.S:49: Error: too many positional arguments
make[2]: *** [arch/arm/kernel/smccc-call.o] Error 1
make[2]: Target `__build' not remade because of errors.
make[1]: *** [arch/arm/kernel] Error 2

That obviously prevented boot testing for that particular build, but all
the other boot tests are normal[2].
