    arm64: cpufeature: Test 'matches' pointer to find the end of the list · 644c2ae1
    James Morse authored
    CPU feature code uses the desc field as a test to find the end of the list,
    this means every entry must have a description. This generates noise for
    entries in the list that aren't really features, but combinations of them.
    e.g.
    > CPU features: detected feature: Privileged Access Never
    > CPU features: detected feature: PAN and not UAO
    
    These combination features are needed for corner cases with alternatives,
    where cpu features interact.
    
    Change all walkers of the arm64_features[] and arm64_hwcaps[] lists to test
    'matches' not 'desc', and only print 'desc' if it is non-NULL.
