Catalin,

Itaru spotted an issue related to ioremapping the mailbox in the
cpu_postboot method where I can't really use ioremap since irqs
are disabled on the secondaries coming up at that point, I missed
that, apologies (I wanted to avoid leaving the mailboxes mapped
after boot).

So, options to fix it:

(1) we leave the mailboxes mapped
(2) we remove the FW check in the postboot method (running on
    secondaries)
(3) I add a cpu_ops method to clean-up resources used for
    booting secondaries and there I can unmap the mailboxes

Frankly, they are all unappealing, I would go for (1), patch below, Itaru
can you give it a go please on Mustang against arm64 for-next/core ?

Thanks,
Lorenzo
