[Yongqin Liu]

HI, All

Just an updated here.
As the commits listed the the following link merged into the
android-mainline kernel:
    https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20221102180705.459294-1-dmitry.baryshkov@xxxxxxxxxx/T/
The problem caused by this commit with x15 build is gone now.

Thanks,
