Indeed looks so:

# ls /proc/device-tree/cpus
#address-cells  #size-cells  cpu at 0  cpu at 1  name

But my custom device tree just includes imx6dl.dtsi

So it is imx6dl.dtsi in linux-imx tree broken?..


Still, if I apply change from the patch, issue diappears, since in this
case imx_smp_init_cpus() gets called and initializes possible_cpu mask
properly.
