Hi there,
I have bisected OpenWrt master, and then the Linux kernel down to this
change, to confirm that this change causes a kernel panic on my
P1020RDB-based, dual-core Aerohive HiveAP 370, at initialization of
the second CPU:

Here is the kernel configuration for this built kernel:
https://git.openwrt.org/?p=openwrt/openwrt.git;a=blob_plain;f=target/linux/mpc85xx/config-5.10;hb=HEAD
In case a force-push is needed for the source repository
(https://github.com/Hurricos/openwrt/commit/ad19bdfc77d60ee1c52b41bb4345fdd02284c4cf),
here is the device tree for this board:

.
When CONFIG_FSL_PMC is set to n, cpu_up_prepare is not assigned to
mpc85xx_pm_ops. I suspect that this is the cause of the current null
pointer access.
I do not have the corresponding board test environment. Can you help me
to test whether the following patch solves the problem?
