The comment

+       /*
+        * R8A7790 and R8A7791 can't be handled here as long as they need SMP
+        * initialization fallback.
+        */

is not about r8a7790/r8a7791 in se, but about backward compatibility support
for DTBs without APMU nodes and CPU enable-methods.

For new SoCs, we mandate the presence of these in the DTB.

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,

when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
