This would mean you can't boot a system with these patches applied unless you
also update the device tree. The system would crash during boot because CCF
relies on tegra_read_chipid() as an APB barrier. Also tegra_boot_secondary()
relies on the chipid to select the correct method for booting secondary cores.
