I need rework and re-test the patch.
One more question. Shall I post the dts related commit, which add PSCI
command together with this commit? Or it may be posted later
independently?

The DTS and Kconfig changes can be seaprate patches, but they'll need to
go through at the same time.

If your bootloader patches the DTB then you don't even need a dts
update. That should make things less confusing for existing users...

More than confusing we need to keep existing DTB binding work with
updated kernel at least for as basic as booting all the CPUs.

OK. Now I'm confused :) We may have several different configurations here:

1) CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU and CONFIG_ARM_PSCI are not set.
In this case keystone arch needs to have
keystone_smp_boot_secondary();

2) CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y and CONFIG_ARM_PSCI is not set.
keystone_smp_boot_secondary() is required and non PSCI
implementation of keystone_cpu_die() is also required.

3) CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is not set and CONFIG_ARM_PSCI=y
4) CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y and CONFIG_ARM_PSCI=y

How do I boot secondary CPUs in cases of 3 and 4?
Do I need to implement PSCI version of the
keystone_smp_boot_secondary() of adding PSCI commands to DTB is
enough?

Do I need to implement keystone_cpu_die() if PSCI commands are
added to DTB?

Thanks,
Vitaly
