Right, that was my understanding too.  

For clarity the current code only uses DT information, the MPIDR values
it uses are those in the CPU nodes in the DT which are used by the SMP
code and are not read from the hardware.  We can drop that bit of code
easily enough but it seemed useful for getting the scaffolding in place
separately to the binding parsing and for general robustness, perhaps
adding a patch at the end of the series to drop the code handling MPIDR
would deal with the application issues?
