The current state (that is next + the patch from this thread) is:

#ifdef CONFIG_CPU_CP15
	define read_cpuid and read_cpuid_ext using mrc p15
	read_cpuid_id = read_cpuid(CPUID_ID)
#elif defined (CONFIG_CPU_V7M)
	read_cpuid returns 0 (with a warning)
	read_cpuid_ext reads from SCB
	read_cpuid_id reads from V7M_SCB_CPUID
#else
	read_cpuid and read_cpuid_ext return 0 (with a warning)
	read_cpuid_id returns CONFIG_PROCESSOR_ID (a bit simplified)
#endif

Now, what is the "underlying function" that should be used to implement
which accessor? I assume you want to have

	read_cpuid_id = read_cpuid(CPUID_ID)

on v7-M, too? So what is the suggestion for read_cpuid?:

	if (reg == CPUID_ID)
		return readl(V7M_SCB_CPUID);
	else
		return 0;
	
That doesn't make much sense in my eyes. If I got you wrong, please give
more details.

Best regards
Uwe
