Minor nit: s/and/or/

Regardless of the nit above, this looks good to me.

I applied this atop the v6.7 (with the prior patch), and checked the following combinations:

	CONFIG_ARM64_ERRATUM_3117295=y && CONFIG_ARM64_ERRATUM_2966298=y
	CONFIG_ARM64_ERRATUM_3117295=y && CONFIG_ARM64_ERRATUM_2966298=n
	CONFIG_ARM64_ERRATUM_3117295=n && CONFIG_ARM64_ERRATUM_2966298=y
	CONFIG_ARM64_ERRATUM_3117295=n && CONFIG_ARM64_ERRATUM_2966298=n

On all cases the resulting Kconfig looked good i.e.
CONFIG_ARM64_WORKAROUND_CLEAN_CACHE was only selected when at least one of
those was selected), and the kernel built cleanly and booted fine for each
configuration.

I don't have a Cortex-A510 to test on, but I see no reason that this shouldn't
work as described.

With or without the "s/and/or/" fixup above:

Catalin, Will, I assume you'd be happy to adjust that when applying, so there's
no reason to send a v2.

Mark.
