Thanks for testing and letting me know about this.
Currently only two platforms (IMX and ZYNQ) are using SCU address at
very early stage of boot, for configuring possible cpus via
set_cpu_possible().. rest platforms are either using DT method or they
handle this in smp_prepare_cpus.
Since I am not sure if all boards based on IMX has been moved to DT
based boot, if it has moved to completely DT based then we do not need
this set_cpu_possible in smp_init_cpus, it will be taken care via
"arm_dt_init_cpu_maps" and this will avoid need of early mapping of SCU
base as well.
If not then, currently I can't see any other way to handle this and in
that case I will drop-out IMX platform's patch of using generic SCU APIs
in v2 version of series.
Thanks,
Pankaj Dubey
