Also worth commenting that SIGILL detection will give the wrong result on iMX51 when the kernel tries to report NEON as absent but the hardware has it; and also the test is unreliable where the hardware has NEON but the kernel was built with CONFIG_NEON=n.

So, lots of reasons...

IIRC, the above patches applied against upstream at the time they were developed.
