Given that this is literally lifted from shmobile_init_cntvoff, the
whole attribution is a bit dubious.

That's not restricted to sunxi, is it?

The name doesn't quite reflect the usage constraints. This will only
work if used from secure, and is UNPREDICTABLE otherwise (see the CPS
instruction). Also, the "smp" prefix is quite misleading, as it only
affects the current CPU, and not any other.

How about secure_cntvoff_init instead? Same thing for the file name.

It'd be good to take this opportunity to refactor the shmobile code.

Thanks,
