On a 4.18-rc1 kernel the following warning is seen on i.MX51 and
i.MX53:
CPU0: Spectre v2: firmware did not set auxiliary control register IBE bit, system vulnerable
Select the ARM_CORTEX_A8_CVE_2017_5715 workaround for i.MX51/i.MX53
to fix the problem.
With this patch applied the kernel reports:
CPU0: Spectre v2: using BPIALL workaround

This depends on Nishanth Menon's series that introduces the
ARM_CORTEX_A8_CVE_2017_5715 Spectre workaround.
