We can now get this with the whole series applied:

CPU0: Spectre v2: firmware did not set auxiliary control register
IBE bit, system vulnerable
CPU: Spectre v2: using ICIALLU workaround

So maybe change the wording from "using %s workaround" to
"chosen workaround %s"?

Or I guess disabling the pr_info when not functional can
be done in the later patches based on some variable set
by check_spectre_auxcr() would be doable too.
You should not be getting both messages.  It looks like you're using
an older series - I assumed you pulled my git tree rather than the
patches?  The public git tree isn't up to date with these changes.
Yes I just fetched your git tree because it allows using
git mergetool because of the conflicts with next. I'll apply
manually and test again.
And testing with the correct patches in the $subject series
makes the issue go away.

Regards,

Tony
