I apologise for not raising this earlier.

I would like you to remove SMP support from this series as I do
not wish to merge any more per-SoC C SMP code for Gen-2 SoCs.

Rather, I believe the future is to use generic code to support
the APMU hardware and then describe it in DT. Something like this:

http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-sh/msg45229.html

As that code is not merged my suggestion is that we merge UP r8a7792 for
now. This is the same approach that has been taken for the r8a7793.

Thanks!
