I've committed the version below now, with a clarified title.
The patch looks reasonable to me, but there may be some issue
I'm missing of course. The other platforms that used to have
a get_core_count function no longer have that because you changed
them to use scu_get_core_count, but that doesn't seem to apply
to mach-msm.

I did not add a stable tag though.

Subject: [PATCH] ARM: msm: platsmp: determine number of CPU cores at boot time

Previously we just assumed there were CONFIG_NR_CPUS cpus present in
the system. Instead, figure out the number of cpus from the MIDR
register.
