This adds support for Microwatt systems with more than one core, and updates the device tree for a 2-core version. The secondary CPUs are started and sent to spin in __secondary_hold very early on, in the platform probe function. The reason for doing this is so that they are there when smp_release_cpus() gets called, which is before the platform init_smp function or even the platform setup_arch function gets called. Note that having two CPUs in the device tree doesn't preclude operation with only one CPU. The SYSCON_CPU_CTRL register has a read-only field which indicates the number of CPU cores, so microwatt_init_smp() will only start as many CPU cores as are present in the system, and any extra CPU device-tree nodes will just be ignored.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
