I’ve reopened the bug because I think we need the same change as in
fe73352e8073ea0a0e6f6b5591f24395671998ab for AArch64 (at least it
appears to be needed on the OverDrive 1000.)

Could you take a look?

(I’m not entirely sure about the workflow to get the updated config from
“make oldconfig”…)

Thanks,
Ludo’.
