[PATCH] xen/arm: Document the erratum #853709 related to Cortex A72
Posted by Michal Orzel 3 years, 6 months ago 
Workaround for Cortex-A57 erratum #852523 is already
in Xen but Cortex-A72 erratum #853709 is not although
it applies to the same issue.

This commit message is a bit confusing because it implies that Xen 
doesn't workaround #852523. However, we do workaround it (there is no 
runtime check) but not document it.

So how about the following commit message?

"The Cortex-A72 erratum #853709 is the same as the Cortex-A57 erratum 
#852523. As the latter is already workaround, we only need to update the 
documentation."

Other than the commit message, I have cross-checked with the 
documentation ([1]):

I can update the commit message on commit.

Thanks. I have updated the commit message and committed it.

On a different topic, it looks like you are sending the e-mail with

Change in commit message suggested by Julien is quite right and
