Hi Julien,

I agree. You can update the commit message.
Thanks for review.

Hi Michal,

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]):

Reviewed-by: Julien Grall <jgrall@xxxxxxxxxx>

I can update the commit message on commit.

Cheers,
