Could be, but I wonder why almost all the kernel code(I am aware of) that uses SMC and is written by TI, is storing r12 and is using both DSB and DMB. See arch/arm/mach-omap2/sleep34xx.S or arch/arm/mach-omap2/omap-smc.S for examples. I'd rather play it safe and leave it that way, unless someone confirms the other code using SMC has extra DSB/DMB instructions too. I wouldn't risk passing invalid/stale data to the Secure Monitor to just save 8 bytes and barriers in a performance non-critical code which will be called only a couple of times during the boot-up process. r12 save/restore is a legacy from omap_smc2 in omap-smc.S, so I guess it can go away without much of a trouble.
