The keyctl patch is probably the only one that makes
a difference here, please include that to fix a bug in the
compat layer of lacking keyctl access.

The coresight unbind fix is a bugfix that avoids a user
triggered kernel oops, but since unbind requires root
permissions, it's not a critical fix.

I assumed the STM Kconfig avoided a randconfig
build issue, but I may be misremembering that,
and I did not try it without that patch.
