Please could you elaborate why a new address can be changed ?

extra line.

Please do not do that, you don't know what NR_CPUS value could be in the 
future with the single kernel image and that could lead to a bug very 
hard to find. The kernel stack is 4096.

Move this out of the function:

static int scm_flags[] = {
	SCM_FLAG_WARMBOOT_CPU0,
	SCM_FLAG_WARMBOOT_CPU1,
	SCM_FLAG_WARMBOOT_CPU2,
	SCM_FLAG_WARMBOOT_CPU3,
};

It sounds odd to add those static declaration here even if I understand 
that is to encapsulate them.

My question is: why scm_set_warm_boot_addr could be called with 
different addresses ?

If this is really needed, please replace the per_cpu variable by:

struct scm_boot_addr {
	int flag;
	phys_addr_t entry;
};

static struct scm_boot_addr scm_flags[] = {
	{ SCM_FLAG_WARMBOOT_CPU0, },
	{ SCM_FLAG_WARMBOOT_CPU1, },
	{ SCM_FLAG_WARMBOOT_CPU2, },
	{ SCM_FLAG_WARMBOOT_CPU3, },
};

By the way, if you look for encapsulation, perhaps these macros could be 
moved into scm-boot.c, no ?
