Re subject, what does the patch actually *do*?
It looks like it "asserts PERST# on BCM2711", which I think would be
more informative than "don't assume 2711 bootloader leaves PERST#
asserted".

Does this link go with something above? "[1]" isn't mentioned above.
I did look at that message, but the connection to this patch isn't
obvious to me.
