[PATCH v2] ARM: dt: check MPIDR on MP devices built without SMP

From: Nicolas Saenz Julienne
Date: Fri Oct 04 2019 - 11:52:46 EST


On SMP builds, in order to properly link CPU devices with their
respective DT nodes we start by matching the boot CPU. This is achieved
by comparing the 'reg' property on each of the CPU DT nodes with the
MPIDR. The association is necessary as to validate the whole CPU logical
map, which ultimately links CPU devices and their DT nodes.

On setups built without SMP, no MPIDR read is performed. The only thing
expected is for the 'reg' property in the CPU DT node to contain the
value 0x0.

This causes problems on MP setups built without SMP. As their boot CPU
DT node contains the relevant MPIDR as opposed to 0x0. No match is then
possible. This causes troubles further down the line as drivers are
unable to get the CPU's DT node.

Change the way we choose whether to get the MPIDR or not. On builds
without SMP check the number of CPUs defined in DT. Anything > 1 means
the MPIDR should be available and matched accordingly.

Note that if there was a rogue UP device exposing multiple active CPUs
in its DT the possible outcomes depend on the ARM series. For example
Cortex-A9 specifies that the MPIDR is returns 0x0 on UP devices. On the
other hand ARM1176JZ's TRM doesn't define a MPIDR register and specifies
that any unwarranted register access will raise an undefined exception.
Overall, given the bogus DT, a reasonable outcome.

This was originally seen on a Raspberry Pi 2 built with bcm2835_defconfig.

Changes since v1:
- Rewrite patch description
- Use of_get_available_child_count()

Note: kept Setfan's Tested-by as the changes only affect a corner case.
