Move the application of boot alternatives to soc_early_init(). This allows to catch more generic cases of code needing patches than doing it in smp_prepare_boot_cpu() and also makes it actually work if CONFIG_SMP is disabled for whatever reason. The position is chosen mainly as it is before the actual soc early init runs but also already allows accessing the devicetree via fdt_* functions.
I think this is OK, but it warrants testing on the K210 -- specifically the system is in an odd state before soc_early_init (IIRC some of memory doesn't work right) so I'm always a bit worried about calling stuff there. I don't have a K210 (or at least a working one), so I'm not going to be able to test it.
