I see.

I'm looking at the code more closely now:

This test basically checks whether the __fixup_smp_on_up code was
run or not. This has changed in bc41b8724f24 "ARM: 7846/1: Update
SMP_ON_UP code to detect A9MPCore with 1 CPU devices", in order
to support a quirk in the Aegis platform. Can you try reverting
that commit?
