I see that this patch enables the workaround only for AmpereOne AC04 
systems. Do you happen to know if the underlying issue for which this 
patch was introduced, impacts (or can impact) AmpereOne AC03 systems too:

CPU implementer    : 0xc0
CPU architecture: 8
CPU variant    : 0x0
CPU part    : 0xac3
CPU revision    : 1
