Merge tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux
Pull second set of arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
"A second pull request for this merging window, mainly with fixes and
docs clarification:
- Documentation clarification on CPU topology and booting
requirements
- Additional cache flushing during boot (needed in the presence of
external caches or under virtualisation)
- DMA range invalidation fix for non cache line aligned buffers
- Build failure fix with !COMPAT
- Kconfig update for STRICT_DEVMEM"

arm64: Add missing Kconfig for CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM
arm64: fix !CONFIG_COMPAT build failures
Revert "arm64: virt: ensure visibility of __boot_cpu_mode"
arm64: Relax the kernel cache requirements for boot
arm64: Update the TCR_EL1 translation granule definitions for 16K pages
ARM: topology: Make it clear that all CPUs need to be described
