Sorry, that was not the exact argument, see below.

The coresight queue is based on rc1 and we already created a stable
tag for TRBE erratas, which was pulled into arm64. So, (correct me
if I am wrong), AFAIU, we cannot rebase the queue on to rc2 where
the patch landed. But happy to proceed, if there is a solution.

Mathieu, what do you think ?
