hmm... Why?

`conf` is pointing to per-hart state in firmware.

On this incoming cpu, opensbi (or equivalent) firmware must have
ensured that this per-hart state doesn't have lock set.

Am I missing something?

Current OpenSBI doesn't clear the lock in the warm init of the hotplug path.
It seems like we need a patch to address it.

Got it thanks.
Since you already know what's the problem, can you send a patch to opensbi.
If you want rather have me do it, let me know. Thanks.
