2013-06-13arm: mvebu: remove dependency of SMP init on static I/O mappingThomas Petazzoni
The ->smp_init_cpus() function is called very early during boot, at a point where dynamic I/O mappings are not yet possible. However, in the Armada 370/XP implementation of this function, we have to get the number of CPUs. We used to do that by accessing a hardware register, which requires relying on a static I/O mapping set up by ->map_io(). Not only this requires hardcoding a virtual address, but it also prevents us from removing the static I/O mapping. So this commit changes the way used to get the number of CPUs: we now use the Device Tree, which is a representation of the hardware, and provides us the number of available CPUs. This is also more accurate, because it potentially allows to boot the Linux kernel on only a number of CPUs given by the Device Tree, instead of unconditionally on all CPUs. As a consequence, the coherency_get_cpu_count() function becomes no longer used, so we remove it.

2012-11-21arm: mvebu: Add support for coherency fabric in mach-mvebuGregory CLEMENT
The Armada 370 and Armada XP SOCs have a coherency fabric unit which is responsible for ensuring hardware coherency between all CPUs and between CPUs and I/O masters. This patch provides the basic support needed for SMP.
