The patch titled
     Subject: arm64: mte: ensure CONFIG_ARM64_PAN is enabled with MTE
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     arm64-mte-add-in-kernel-tag-fault-handler-fix.patch

This patch was dropped because it was folded into arm64-mte-add-in-kernel-tag-fault-handler.patch

------------------------------------------------------
From: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>
Subject: arm64: mte: ensure CONFIG_ARM64_PAN is enabled with MTE

The uaccess routines like get/put_user() rely on the user TCF0 mode
setting for tag checking.  However, if CONFIG_ARM64_PAN is disabled, these
routines would use the standard LDR/STR instructions and therefore the
kernel TCF mode.  In 5.10, the kernel TCF==0, so no tag checking, but this
will change with the in-kernel MTE support.

Make ARM64_MTE depend on ARM64_PAN.
