Thanks, this looks good, except two aspects. One could have been fixed
using a follow-up patch, but not the other one.

I guess the final 2018.07 is released now, so you could useit.

"a64-relic" is a branch name, which makes the build non reproducible.
We want either a tag, or a full SHA1, to ensure that we always build
the same kernel version.

Could you fix that up and resend the patch?

Best regards,
