Hi Marc!

I've tried to pull in new upstream commits and the kernel build
started failing for me with the following errors (see below).

It seems that the reason is your commit "arm64: Add
ARM_SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_1 BP hardening support". It seems that Clang
doesn't like 32 bits registers being used in 64 bits build.

Would you mind sending a fix?

Thanks!
