Hmm, I don't think so (?).

I tested this with

https://github.com/dirkbehme/linux-renesas-rcar-gen3/commits/dirk/gen3-latest-update

and got (including the A53 patch)

...
ASID allocator initialised with 65536 entries

Detected PIPT I-cache on CPU1

CPU1: Booted secondary processor [411fd073]

Detected PIPT I-cache on CPU2

CPU2: Booted secondary processor [411fd073]

Detected PIPT I-cache on CPU3

CPU3: Booted secondary processor [411fd073]

Detected VIPT I-cache on CPU4

CPU features: enabling workaround for ARM erratum 845719

CPU4: Booted secondary processor [410fd034]

Detected VIPT I-cache on CPU5

CPU5: Booted secondary processor [410fd034]

Detected VIPT I-cache on CPU6

CPU6: Booted secondary processor [410fd034]

Detected VIPT I-cache on CPU7

CPU7: Booted secondary processor [410fd034]

Brought up 8 CPUs

SMP: Total of 8 processors activated.

CPU: All CPU(s) started at EL1
...

This is based on last weeks renesas-drivers-2015-12-08-v4.4-rc4 and 
besides the patches for SDHI/eMMC I don't think it contains anything 
additional regarding the number of CPU cores.

Best regards

Dirk
