I wasn't sure you wanted to panic(), to clip on available CPUs,
or to just do a pr_warn / WARN(), so here's a piece of code:
(disclaimer: non-tested, non-compiled, etc.)

	/*
	 * In order to boot the secondary CPUs we need to ensure
	 * the bootROM is mapped at the correct address.
	 */
	node = of_find_compatible_node(NULL, NULL, "bootrom");
	if (!node) {
		pr_warn("No 'bootrom' node found");
		return;
	}

	err = of_address_to_resource(node, 0, &res);
	if (err < 0) {
		pr_warn("Cannot get 'bootrom' node address");
		return;
	}

	if (res.start != AXP_BOOTROM_BASE||
	    resource_size(&res) != AXP_BOOTROM_SIZE) {
		pr_warn("bootrom address is incorrect");
		return;
	}

How does it look?
