Subject[PATCH v5 0/5] ARM: SMP: support Broadcom mobile SoCs
Date
This series adds SMP support for two Broadcom mobile SoC families.
It uses CPU_METHOD_OF_DECLARE() so that SMP operations are assigned
using device tree rather than adding it to a machine definition in a
board file.

The enable method starts a secondary core by writing to a register
monitored by CPUs spinning in a ROM-based holding pen loop. The
address of this register is recorded as a property in the "cpus"
node of the device tree.

-Alex

Notes:
- I would prefer to document the binding in a separate file in
the way suggested here:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/5/20/559
But for now I'm keeping this independent of that.
- This series is based on v3.16-rc1, plus two recently-posted patches:

History
v5: - No real change; rebased onto v3.16-rc1.
v4: - Renamed "platsmp.c" to be "kona_smp.c".
- Rebased onto v3.15-rc5
v3: - Dropped definition and use of CPU_METHOD_OF_DECLARE_SETUP()
- Added documentation for "enable-method"
- Rebased onto v3.15-rc4
v2: - Fixed a Makefile error (:= should have been +=)
- No longer set CONFIG_NR_CPUS in bcm_defconfig
- Rebased onto v3.15-rc1
