I recently did a patch to remove all the cpu_is_mx{1,2,3,5}* macros, which ended up
making the code simpler and more readable in most places. I think we can
do the same for the cpu_is_imx{6,7}* macros.

In this instance, the easy alternative is to have a separate smp_operation
structure for imx7d rather than using the same as imx6 and then figuring
out at runtime which one you have.
