I agree that this should be done. Can you give an example how this
should be implemented?

Thanks for pointing this out. I will set fp = A64_SP - 16 so to allocate
space for saving x23/x24. And I will take care while poping back in the epilogue.

bdc48fa11e46 ("checkpatch/coding-style: deprecate 80-column warning")
removed the warning so I started using 100 character lines.

Sure, will change in next version.

Thanks for pointing this out. I will fix this in the next version.

Sure,
Will use this method in the next version.
