OpenPIC warnings on P1022RDK AMP configuration

Greetings All

I am running dual linux on P1022RDK in AMP configuration. My memory partitioning is as below

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Core                      | Base Address  |    Size                 |
--------------------------|---------------|-------------------------|
Core 0 (MEL RT Kernel)    | 0x0000,0000   | 0x0C00,0000 - 192 (MB)  |
Core 1 (LTIB Kernel)      |0x0C00,0000    | 0x1000,0000 - 256 (MB)  |
MCAPI - Shared Mem        | 0x1C00,0000   | 0x0400,0000 - 64  (MB)  |
---------------------------------------------------------------------

My kernel command lines are for both cores

setenv core0bootargs root=/dev/mmcblk0p3 rootdelay=5 rw mem=192M
setenv core1bootargs root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=<serverip>:/<rootfs> ip=dhcp mem=256M

I have also partitioned my hardware among both cores and supplied appropriate "protected-sources" in mpic node of both DTS files. The problem is, I receive following warning continuously only on Core 0 console, but Core 1 is running smooth. In following warnings source irqs are mostly which I have assigned to Core 1, but they are present in Core 0 mpic node "protected-sources" list, then why I am getting these messages.

Any thoughts ?

Change kernel configuration as per following to fix this warning.

Disable Kernel Options -> Support for enabling/disabling CPUs
Disable Kernel Options -> Distribute interrupts on all CPUs by default

Does each dtb have the correct CPU number, both from the command line
boot cpu flag and in the CPU node?

Do both device trees have pic-no-reset in the mpic node?

If neither of those are the issue, start dumping the relevant MPIC
interrupt destination registers, and tracethe code where they're
supposed to be set up.  Also make sure that no interrupts are enabled
when Linux receives control from U-Boot.

Yes both CPUs have the correct CPU numbers and also both DTBs are build wit=
h their respective -b flag.=20

>> Do both device trees have pic-no-reset in the mpic node?
Yes, both have pic-no-reset mode.

Yes, interrupts are disabled when Linux receives control from U-Boot.
