Chanho's patch is for the exynos mcpm back-end. However, when we
disable CCI the mcpm code is bypassed and we default to the code in
exynos' platsmp.c/firmware.c. If the A7s were failing to boot-up then
the reason could have been that Chanho's workaround was not being
executed after applying the CCI disablement patch.
According to the comments the A15s are not booting and so the
exynos_boot_secondary function needs to be checked further.
