[U-Boot] [PATCH 1/2] armv8: Enable CPUECTLR.SMPEN for coherency

From: Mingkai Hu <mingkai.hu at nxp.com>
For A53, data coherency is enabled only when the CPUECTLR.SMPEN bit is
set. The SMPEN bit should be set before enabling the data cache.
If not enabled, the cache is not coherent with other cores and
data corruption could occur.
For A57/A72, SMPEN bit enables the processor to receive instruction
cache and TLB maintenance operations broadcast from other processors
in the cluster. This bit should be set before enabling the caches and
MMU, or performing any cache and TLB maintenance operations.

+ Cortex A53/57/72 cores require CPUECTLR_EL1.SMPEN set even

+ register may be controlled by EL3/EL2 firmware. To be more
+ precise, by default (if there is EL2/EL3 firmware running)
+ this register is RO for NS EL1.
+ This switch can be used to avoid writing to CPUECTLR_EL1,
+ it can be safely enabled when El2/EL3 initialized SMPEN bit
+ or when CPU implementation doesn't include that register.
