Set the warmboot address using an SCM call, only if the new address is
different than the old one.

Please could you elaborate why a new address can be changed ?

extra line.

Please do not do that, you don't know what NR_CPUS value could be in the future with the single kernel image and that could lead to a bug very hard to find. The kernel stack is 4096.

Move this out of the function:

static int scm_flags[] = {
	SCM_FLAG_WARMBOOT_CPU0,
	SCM_FLAG_WARMBOOT_CPU1,
	SCM_FLAG_WARMBOOT_CPU2,
	SCM_FLAG_WARMBOOT_CPU3,
};

+	static DEFINE_PER_CPU(void *, last_known_entry);

It sounds odd to add those static declaration here even if I understand that is to encapsulate them.

+	int ret;
+
+	if (entry == per_cpu(last_known_entry, cpu))
+		return 0;

My question is: why scm_set_warm_boot_addr could be called with different addresses ?

If this is really needed, please replace the per_cpu variable by:

struct scm_boot_addr {
	int flag;
	phys_addr_t entry;
};

static struct scm_boot_addr scm_flags[] = {
	{ SCM_FLAG_WARMBOOT_CPU0, },
	{ SCM_FLAG_WARMBOOT_CPU1, },
	{ SCM_FLAG_WARMBOOT_CPU2, },
	{ SCM_FLAG_WARMBOOT_CPU3, },
};

+	ret = scm_set_boot_addr(virt_to_phys(entry), flags[cpu]);
+	if (!ret)
+		per_cpu(last_known_entry, cpu) = entry;
+
+	return ret;
+}

By the way, if you look for encapsulation, perhaps these macros could be moved into scm-boot.c, no ?
