Hi Amneesh,

Yes this patch is still required for Xen on ARM and it fixes a real bug.
Unfortunately the upstreaming process stalled so we had to keep the fix
in our Xilinx Linux branch. Here is the link to the start of this
conversation and to the last message:

Hi Michael, I see you are CCed to this email. Would you be open to
acking this patch now that a 3rd independent engineer from a different
company (NXP first, then AMD/Xilinx, now TI) has reported this as a bug
fix?
