No, only Kryo and Falkor V1 based SOCs have this problem.  Falkor V2
will have this fixed.  We intend to revert these fixes after Falkor
V1 SOCs are no longer supported.

Supported by whom?

Qualcomm.

Generally, once something's upstreamed we expect it to remain supported.

The V1 SOCs are technically pre-production, but still in wide use and
it will be a while before they are all replaced by V2 SOCs.  It's only
because of the "ugliness" of the erratum and its work-around that we
want to git rid of it when we can.

Interesting. How will you guarantee that nobody will ever want to run a
mainline kernel on this box after a certain date? Self-destruct timer?
;-)

As someone who runs mainline on HW that exceeded its "sell-by" date by a
few decades, I'm genuinely interested.

Thanks,
