    ARC: smp: Introduce smp hook @init_early_smp for Master core · e55af4da
    Vineet Gupta authored
    This adds a platform agnostic early SMP init hook which is called on
    Master core before calling setup_processor()
    
      setup_arch()
         smp_init_cpus()
             smp_ops.init_early_smp()
         ...
         setup_processor()
    
    How this helps:
     - Used for one time init of certain SMP centric IP blocks, before
       calling setup_processor() which probes various bits of core,
       possibly including this block
    
     - Currently platforms need to call this IP block init from their
       init routines, which doesn't make sense as this is specific to ARC
       core and not platform and otherwise requires copy/paste in all
       (and hence a possible point of failure)
    
    e.g. MCIP init is called from 2 platforms currently (axs10x and sim)
    which will go away once we have this.
    
    This change only adds the hooks but they are empty for now. Next commit
    will populate them and remove the explicit init calls from platforms.
