I don't really understand this part. According to the comment if we vote
(let's say) for core2 but not for core1 then:

core1: 0
core2: GENI_DEFAULT_BW

core1 = core2 = max(core1, core2)
   or
core1 = core2 = max(0, GENI_DEFAULT_BW)

hence

core1 = core2 = GENI_DEFAULT_BW

What am I missing, why is it necessary to vote for both/all?
say core1 is for earlycon usecase

There is common switch to control both the QUP core clock. I guess most appropriate description would be     switch = max(vote_on_core1, vote_on_core2) + default_vote.

During early bootup, vote_on_core1 = 0, vote_on_core2 = 0;

As earlycon was working even without voting it's core need because there was some default vote present on the core switch by ICC during bootup.

So if any child(say SPI) of other QUP wrapper resumed and suspended before earlycon wrapper comes up. This will make core clock to run at zero and will cause NOC issue because vote_on_core1 = 0, vote_on_core2 = 0; and it seems default votes from core switch is removed  ASA it's voted on any core.
