[PATCH 0/3] ARM: bcm: Enable SMP on the Genexis XG6846B

When booted through CFE and mainline U-Boot, the XG6846B has no PSCI
provider. CFE powers up CPU1 and leaves it waiting in a holding pen.
Preserve the holding pen, add a board-specific SMP method using CFE's
GPIO mailbox and a wakeup IPI, and disable the inherited PSCI setup.
Tested on the XG6846B with both CPUs coming online.
