Hi all,

This patch series implements SMP support on the Broadcom BCM63138 DSL platform.

There is a number of decisions being made here to simplify things:

- the power on sequence for the secondary CPU is a bit of low-level code that
  uses the on-chip PMB bus, which will later be supported as a proper reset
  controller driver, it was considered first to use a reset controller for
  that, but this was later dropped because:
	- reset controllers cannot be utilized at SMP init time (too early)
	- moving reset controllers init earlier has been rejected
	- the second CPU power on sequence is fairly specific, even within
	  the context of the BCM63138 SoC, no other peripheral has that
	  level of detail

- VFP needs to be disabled when SMP is used because the second CPU does not
  have any VFP unit and will just hang doing a VFP/NEON operation
