[PATCH 5/9] ARM: actions: remove boot_lock and pen_release

From: Russell King <hidden>
Date: 2018-12-13 18:01:02
Also in: linux-arm-msm, linux-omap, linux-samsung-soc
Subsystem: arm port, arm/actions semi architecture, the rest · Maintainers: Russell King, Andreas Färber, Manivannan Sadhasivam, Linus Torvalds

The actions SMP implementation has several issues:

1. pen_release is only ever read and compared to -1, and is defined in
   arch/arm/kernel/smp.c to be -1.  This test will always succeed.

2. we are already guaranteed to be single threaded while bringing up a
   CPU, so the spinlock makes no sense, remove it.

3. owl_secondary_startup() is not referenced nor defined, the prototype
   is redundant, remove it.
