It looks like you are right.  We fixed the bug in our UEFI and now this 
patchset works.

So all 21 patches:

Tested-by: Timur Tabi <timur at codeaurora.org>


However, I did notice one thing.  Booting the kernel displays this line:

	[   69.424001] Failed to find cpu0 device node

That's because CONFIG_OF is still defined (part of "config ARM64"), and 
therefore cache_setup_of_node() attempts to get the cache information 
from the device tree.

Should CONFIG_OF still be defined?
