Nit: (arm64 only) would be less verbose.

Ditto. (Not a big deal, though.)

Nit: Funny indentation. Please align with the "if (". It's also
preferable to keep the two system_supports_xxx_auth() aligned or on the
same line, since they go together. This might be clearer split up:

if (!has_vhe())
return -EINVAL;

if (!system_supports_address_auth() ||
!system_supports_generic_auth())
return -EINVAL;
