For the benefit of those just looknig at this thread, there has been some
discussion in the original thread for this commit. Summary and links below.

We identified a potential issue with missing cache maintenance:

  https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/ZJMXqTffB22LSOkd@FVFF77S0Q05N/

Puranjay verified that was causing the problem seen here:

Alexei has dropped this commit for now:
