Can we use the name init_boot_hartid_from_fdt()? While I understand
Heinrich's point, I think since we have "_from_fdt", this may be fine.

I didn't rename the function since it was not recommended to do multiple
things in a "Fix" patch. If we can consider this as not very serious
issue which needs a "Fix" patch, then I can combine this patch with the
RISCV_EFI_BOOT_PROTOCOL patch series. 

Hi Ard, let me know your suggestion on how to proceed with this.

Thanks
Sunil
