[PATCH 0/2] ARM: renesas: Enable SMP on R-Car E2

[geert+renesas@glider.be (Geert Uytterhoeven)]

	Hi Magnus, Mar[ck], Sergei, Simon,

This patch series enables SMP on R-Car E2 (r8a7794).

  - The first patch initializes CNTVOFF for secondary CPU cores, like is
    already done for the boot CPU core.  Without this, the ARM arch
    timer doesn't work on secondary CPU cores.
  - The second patch adds the required infrastructure (APMU device node
    and corresponding enable-method) to DT.
    This must not be applied on a branch that doesn't have the first
    patch!

According to the original comments, the CNTVOFF initialization is needed
on Cortex-A7 only, hence affects R-Car E2, which has a dual Cortex-A7
cluster.
Apparently it's not needed on other R-Car Gen2 members that have (only)
Cortex-A15 clusters.
Perhaps it's also needed on R-Car H2, which has a big.LITTLE
quad Cortex-A15 + quad Cortex-A7 configuration, when running Linux on
the Cortex-A7 cores?  How can I test that?

Thanks for your comments!

when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
