Besides bringup the second core, another positive aspect of this patch
is that it allows us to use CAAM on imx7d:
[ 3.829002] caam 30900000.crypto: Instantiated RNG4 SH0
[ 3.888407] caam 30900000.crypto: Instantiated RNG4 SH1
[ 3.893810] caam 30900000.crypto: device ID = 0x0a16030000000000 (Era 8)
[ 3.900684] caam 30900000.crypto: job rings = 3, qi = 0
Without this patch the CAAM driver failed:
[ 3.123690] caam 30900000.caam: Entropy delay = 3200
[ 3.160149] caam 30900000.caam: failed to acquire DECO 0
[ 3.165563] caam 30900000.caam: failed to instantiate RNG
