Summary

These input sections can have decimal numbers as the priority suffix.
SORT is an alias for SORT_BY_NAME, hence will result in wrong order of
constructors / destructors in output sections. Fix by using the correct
sorting command SORT_BY_INIT_PRIORITY instead [1].

If the input section does not have a priority suffix, then it should be
treated as having a priority of 65535.

Currently these sections are not used, there should be no functional
change.

Note: As for the .ctors and .dtors sections, the priority suffix is in
the form of %05u so there is no semantic difference between SORT_BY_NAME
and SORT_BY_INIT_PRIORITY [2].

This is split from D40467 and is the FIX for existing amd64 and i386 arch. This is definitely the right fix so I'd expect it can be landed quickly.
I'm going to update D40467 to only add .init_array and .fini_array sections for other arch (but this fix).

Then a quick line in yhe commit messafe saying its a fix

Is the commit message kernel: Fix defining of .init_array and .fini_array sections sufficient ?

Yes
