I think it is clear from Russell's summary that we dont want "may work" workaround in kernel/bootloaders. in case of u-boot (which this patch is about), I'd suggest adding the CONFIG_*CVE* input to the Kconfig for the SoC where you know for sure this works.

It won't work in a generic manner but it will work for some platforms where updating the firmware is impractical, and since the bits are write ignore if your PL does not allow it, this still seems like a net win for platforms where this is effective, and it does take care of Linux doing the SMP bring-up of secondary cores as well.

This is the case as of 4.18 so you could probably reference CONFIG_CPU_SPECTRE
and CONFIG_HARDEN_BRANCH_PREDICTOR in a v2.

About that, I don't know enough of uboot but are there existing PSCI or other
seemingly standard secondary core support in uboot that would make us go
through the same initialization as the boot CPU? If not, is everything going to
be largely implementation specific and scattered between uboot and the
hypervisors or kernel?
FWIW, this is what prompted me to submit this:
