Yes, I tested it. I wanted to test it again to give more context. Here
is the boot log: http://code.bulix.org/n1x864-315948?raw
I added printk in the 3 functions (with "===========>").

The "init_early" and "sun6i_timer" are executed before
"arch_timer_of_init" (which is the function that parses the DT property
that we used previously "arm,cpu-registers-not-fw-configured").
The "sunxi_mc_smp_init" function is called later so I guess that is why
it is not working in that case.

Yep, I will update it in next version.

Thanks,
