      arm: mvebu: remove dependency of SMP init on static I/O mapping · b21dcafe
      Thomas Petazzoni 提交于
      The ->smp_init_cpus() function is called very early during boot, at a
      point where dynamic I/O mappings are not yet possible. However, in the
      Armada 370/XP implementation of this function, we have to get the
      number of CPUs. We used to do that by accessing a hardware register,
      which requires relying on a static I/O mapping set up by
      ->map_io(). Not only this requires hardcoding a virtual address, but
      it also prevents us from removing the static I/O mapping.
      
      So this commit changes the way used to get the number of CPUs: we now
      use the Device Tree, which is a representation of the hardware, and
      provides us the number of available CPUs. This is also more accurate,
      because it potentially allows to boot the Linux kernel on only a
      number of CPUs given by the Device Tree, instead of unconditionally on
      all CPUs.
      
      As a consequence, the coherency_get_cpu_count() function becomes no
      longer used, so we remove it.
