The start of mips_cps_core_entry is patched in order to provide the code with the address of the CM register region at a point where it will be running non-coherent with the rest of the system. However the cache wasn't being flushed after that patching which could in principle lead to secondary cores using an invalid CM base address. The patching is moved to cps_prepare_cpus since local_flush_icache_range has not been initialised at the point cps_smp_setup is called.
