It's better to ask system lsi person. We don't know it well.
I got the guide about secondary boot from system lsi.
But, this patch was completely tested.

exynos_smc(SMC_CMD_CPU1BOOT, ...) is cpu hotplug SMC interface.
Exynos4212 is dual core processor.
Exynos4212 only have to boot cpu1 on smp boot.
So, Second parameter of exynos_smc is fixed by 0 which means cpu1.
It don't need to boot another cpu (ex. cpu2, cpu3 for quad core processor).
But In case of quad core processor (ex. Exynos4412),
It need to boot another cpu and specify parameter of booting core.
As I know, Exynos3250 is dual core.
So It can be included 1st condition too.

Is the smc API defined to ignore the first argument of SMC_CMD_CPU1BOOT command for dual core systems or it is defined as should be zero?

Best regards,
Tomasz
