Sure can! ... Just as soon as I pin down exactly what you mean by that :D

Are you asking that this be guarded not just by ARMV8_SPIN_TABLE
enablement, but also by root device compatible?

e.g:

	if (!CONFIG_IS_ENABLED(ARMV8_SPIN_TABLE))
		return;

	if (fdt_node_check_compatible(fdt, 0, "qcom,msm8916") &&
        fdt_node_check_compatible(fdt, 0, "qcom,apq8016"))
		return;

Kind regards,
Sam
