Thanks for this!

Of these, I have applied:

    Makefile: Avoid .got section creation
    configure: Make PSCI the default boot method
    configure: Fix default DTB
    configure: Use earlycon instead of earlyprintk
    pointer auth: Document CPU feature bit mask
    avoid dtc warnings on re-compiling DTB

... and have pushed that out.

I have not applied:

    Add standard headers
    Makefile: Tell compiler to generate bare-metal code
    configure: Autodetect GICv3

... since for the first two I have some questions/concerns, and for the GICv3
patch I'd like to make that a bit more robust if possible.

Thanks,
Mark.
