This simple patch activates SMP for mt6589 by adding the missing "enable-method" property. After applying this patch kernel log indicates all cores are brought up: [ 0.070122] CPU0: thread -1, cpu 0, socket 0, mpidr 80000000 [ 0.071652] Setting up static identity map for 0x80100000 - 0x80100054 [ 0.072711] rcu: Hierarchical SRCU implementation.

[ 0.257855] CPU: All CPU(s) started in SVC mode. Before this change CPU cores 1-3 didn't start and the following lines were in kernel log: [ 0.070126] CPU0: thread -1, cpu 0, socket 0, mpidr 80000000 [ 0.071640] Setting up static identity map for 0x80100000 - 0x80100054 [ 0.072706] rcu: Hierarchical SRCU implementation.
