Sure, I misunderstood the way of putting .word, actually, for i.MX7D, I can
just call common secondary_startup instead of v7_seondary_startup, so I can
remove all changes in this file.

Thanks, I will use read_cpuid_id() API intead of putting asm code here.

Agree, I will add a new patch in this patch set to replace all the cpu_is_xxx with
Soc_is_xxx.

Thanks for review.
