On a 4.18-rc1 kernel the following warning is seen on i.MX51 and i.MX53:
CPU0: Spectre v2: firmware did not set auxiliary control register IBE bit, system vulnerable
Select the ARM_CORTEX_A8_CVE_2017_5715 workaround for i.MX51/i.MX53 to fix the problem.
With this patch applied the kernel reports:
CPU0: Spectre v2: using BPIALL workaround

This depends on Nishanth Menon's series that introduces the ARM_CORTEX_A8_CVE_2017_5715 Spectre workaround.
I saw that Tom has just applied Nishanth Menon's series.
Can this one also be applied for 2018.07?
I can pick it up, or it can be in a PR, thanks!
