In SMP setup, master loops for each_present_cpu calling cpu_up().
For ARC it returns as soon as new cpu's status becomes online,
However secondary may still do HW initializing,
machine or platform hook level.

So turn secondary online only after all HW setup is done.

<title>ARC: clockevent: switch to cpu notifier for clockevent setup</title>

ARC Timers so far have been handled as "legacy" w/o explicit description
in DT. This poses challenge for newer platforms wanting to use them.
This series will eventually help move timers over to DT.

This patch does a small change of using a CPU notifier to set clockevent
on non-boot CPUs. So explicit setup is done only on boot CPU (which will
later be done by DT)

- The idea is to remove the API usage since it has a subltle
  design flaw - relies on being called on cpu0 first. This is true for
  some early per cpu irqs such as TIMER/IPI, but not for late probed
  per cpu peripherals such a perf. And it's usage in perf has already
  bitten us once: see c6317bc7c5ab
  ("ARCv2: perf: Ensure perf intr gets enabled on all cores") where we
  ended up open coding it anyways

- The seeming duplication will go away once we start using cpu notifier
  for timer setup

<title>arch/hotplug: Call into idle with a proper state</title>

Let the non boot cpus call into idle with the corresponding hotplug state, so
the hotplug core can handle the further bringup. That's a first step to
convert the boot side of the hotplugged cpus to do all the synchronization
with the other side through the state machine. For now it'll only start the
hotplug thread and kick the full bringup of the cpu.

This was more relevant during SMP bringup.

The warning for bogus msg better be visible always.

This will better reflect its description i.e. "any needed setup..."
and not just do an "IPI request".

Note this is not part of platform owned static machine_desc,
but more of device owned plat_smp_ops (rather misnamed) which a IPI
provider or some such typically defines.

This will help us seperate out the IPI registration from platform
specific init_cpu_smp() into device specific init_irq_cpu()

<title>ARC: smp: Introduce smp hook @init_early_smp for Master core</title>

<id>e55af4da026ebdb9ded3cb7708b8a8bd7884ad3a</id>
<content type='text'>
This adds a platform agnostic early SMP init hook which is called on
Master core before calling setup_processor()

  setup_arch()
     smp_init_cpus()
         smp_ops.init_early_smp()
     ...
     setup_processor()

How this helps:
 - Used for one time init of certain SMP centric IP blocks, before
   calling setup_processor() which probes various bits of core,
   possibly including this block

 - Currently platforms need to call this IP block init from their
   init routines, which doesn't make sense as this is specific to ARC
   core and not platform and otherwise requires copy/paste in all
   (and hence a possible point of failure)

e.g. MCIP init is called from 2 platforms currently (axs10x and sim)
which will go away once we have this.

This change only adds the hooks but they are empty for now. Next commit
will populate them and remove the explicit init calls from platforms.
