Are you sure about this? This was one of the problematic part I met
back when was trying to implement the feature.
arch/mips/mti-malta/malta-init.c:
prom_init()
+-> mips_cpc_probe()
    +-> mips_cpc_phys_base()
        +-> mips_cm_present(): mips_gcr_base != NULL
        +-> read_gcr_cpc_status()
        +-> read_gcr_cpc_base()
        +-> write_gcr_cpc_base()

So by moving mips_cm_probe() to being executed after prom_init() the
calls-chain above will be broken since the mips_gcr_base will be left
uninitialized. Do I miss something?

Please, note originally the mips_cm_probe() invocation was right
above the Malta's mips_cpc_probe():
