Ok.

	cpus {
		#address-cells = <1>;
		#size-cells = <0>;
		cpu@0 {
			device_type = "cpu";
			reg = <0>;
			status = "on";
		};

		cpu@1 {
			device_type = "cpu";
			reg = <1>;
			status = "off";
		};
	};

See above, I'll remove the reg property and it's no use.

There is no unique ID in current CPU: ck860.

Ok.

Bug. I'll add NR_CPUS limit.

No, not a fixed address. I put it arch/csky/kernel/traps.c:79-83
trap_init()
#ifdef CONFIG_SMP
	mtcr("cr<28, 0>", virt_to_phys(vec_base));

	VEC_INIT(VEC_RESET, (void *)virt_to_phys(_start_smp_secondary));
