Given the comment from Mark Rutland and Russell King here[1], I'd rathe= r concentrate on a proper SMP implementation. Unfortunately, I haven't found a good documentation about the requirements nor call sequence - but I haven't looked hard. Having said that, can we postpone the DT enable method patches until we agreed on a better SMP implementation?
