While the Freescale ARMv8 board LS2085A will enter U-Boot both
on a master and a secondary (slave) CPU, this is not the common
behaviour on ARMv8 platforms. The norm is that U-Boot is entered
from the master CPU only, while the other CPUs are kept in
WFI (wait for interrupt) state.

The code determining which CPU we are running on is using the
MPIDR register, but the definition of that register varies with
platform to some extent, and handling multi-cluster platforms
(such as the Juno) will become cumbersome. It is better to only
enable the multiple entry code on machines that actually need
it and disable it by default.

Make the single entry default and add a special
ARMV8_MULTIENTRY KConfig option to be used by the
platforms that need multientry and set it for the LS2085A.
Delete all use of the CPU_RELEASE_ADDR from the Vexpress64
boards as it is just totally unused and misleading, and
make it conditional in the generic start.S code.

This makes the Juno platform start U-Boot properly.

ChangeLog v1->v2:
- Move configuration of ARMV8_MULTIENTRY over to Kconfig
  as requested by Tom Rini.

This patch applied on top of the other patch series send,
ending with
[PATCH 4/4] vexpress64: support the Juno Development Platform
Please apply it on top of these if the patch seems OK.

I don't know, I don't have access to this system.

However it doesn't matter to the code.

Yep. Also in FVP and the base model.

But generally I don't see why this multientry exists at all,
it seems more natural for me to keep all CPUs in WFI and
let the OS start them.

Yes and this is exactly what this patch does.

CPU_RELEASE_ADDR is still used on the fsl machine.

Yes.

Not necessarily, just that something keeps the secondary cores
in WFI. If that is ATF or something else (like the ROM, or just
them being kept in power-on state) not doesn't matter.

But the more important question is: who is using this on vexpress64?

If I can reproduce the usecase with some sane setup, I'll be happy
to handle the multientry case for the vexpress64's.

Yes it may save a few bytes, added some more #ifdefs.

Do you have a system that uses this?

How can I reproduce a boot on one of the ARM vexpress64
simulators that will come up on multiple CPUs?

Noone I know of uses it, if they exist the should speak up.

I think somebody just put it in there because the #define was
needed to compile the U-boot. Noone has given any explanation
to these magic numbers...
