The thread I was thinking of is:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2018-March/562953.html
which is about b092201e0020614127f495c092e0a12d26a2116e `arm64: Add
ARM_SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_1 BP hardening support`. As you mention, that
commit uses the correct widths.
Andrey had sent me his workaround, which modified some #defines in
include/linux/arm-smccc.h, which were added recently in commit
f2d3b2e8759a5833df6f022e42df2d581e6d843c `arm/arm64: smccc: Implement SMCCC
v1.1 inline primitive`.
>>> We probably want to be very explicit with register widths here.
So f2d3b2e8759 is the patch I'm referring to.
