Yes I know

I need to check if it can be improved before I post on the list and hence dropped it in the first version of this patch-set.

No not this one, this was already discussed long back I believe. It doesn't make sense to add bl-switcher for ARM64 IMO.

Yes the Kconfig changes looks better than what I have now.
