It makes no sense to initialize the mpic ipi for the SoC which has
doorbell support. So set the smp_85xx_ops.probe to NULL for this
case. Since the smp_85xx_ops.probe is also used in function
smp_85xx_setup_cpu() to check if we need to invoke
mpic_setup_this_cpu(), we introduce a new setup_cpu function
smp_85xx_basic_setup() to remove this dependency.

Is there any harm caused by setting up the IPIs?

What about other MPIC setup, such as setting the current task priority
register?

BTW, what exactly is probe() supposed to be doing?  It looks like its
main effect (with smp_mpic_probe) is to request IPIs, but the caller
seems to treat it mainly as a way to determine CPU count.

I looked at the caller of .probe() (which is smp_prepare_cpus()) to see
what happens when probe is NULL, and the handling of max_cpus doesn't
make much sense.  At first I was concerned by the gratuitous difference
between smp_mpic_probe() using cpu_possible_mask versus
smp_prepare_cpus() using NR_CPUS, but the value isn't even used (all the
code that consumed max_cpus after setting it has been removed), and the
value passed in to smp_prepare_cpus() is ignored.

No real harm. Just make no sense to do so and it does cause confusion
when you cat /proc/interrupts and get something like this:
  507:          0          0   OpenPIC   2043 Edge      ipi call function
  508:          0          0   OpenPIC   2044 Edge      ipi reschedule
  509:          0          0   OpenPIC   2045 Edge      ipi call function single
  DBL:       7053      10137   Doorbell interrupts

This is done by the invoking of function mpic_setup_this_cpu() in
smp_85xx_setup_cpu().

> BTW, what exactly is probe() supposed to be doing?

It is supposed to do the platform specific smp initialization and then return
the CPU count.

Yes, the return value of .probe makes no sense now. Actually there is already
a patch to remove the check of the return value of .probe in function
smp_prepare_cpus().

OK...  Why are you splitting out smp_85xx_basic_setup()?  Where do you
call it other than from smp_85xx_setup_cpu()?  Couldn't you have just
removed the conditional without splitting up the function?  The change
log says it's "to check if we need to invoke mpic_setup_this_cpu()"
which doesn't make sense since we always want to call
mpic_setup_this_cpu() if we have an MPIC.

In the current implementation of smp_85xx_setup_cpu(), we only invoke
the function mpic_setup_this_cpu() when the smp_85xx_ops.probe is set 
to smp_mpic_probe(). So if we set smp_85xx_ops.probe to NULL when doorbell
is available, we must make sure that the mpic_setup_this_cpu() is also invoked
when there does have a mpic. The smp_85xx_basic_setup() is for the board which
has no mpic.

  static void smp_85xx_setup_cpu(int cpu_nr)
  {
  	if (smp_85xx_ops.probe == smp_mpic_probe)
  		mpic_setup_this_cpu();
  
  	if (cpu_has_feature(CPU_FTR_DBELL))
  		doorbell_setup_this_cpu();
  }

>  Where do you

We would set the .setup_cpu() to smp_85xx_basic_setup() if it is a
non-mpic board. The following is quoted form the patch:
   	np = of_find_node_by_type(NULL, "open-pic");
   	if (np) {
   		smp_85xx_ops.probe = smp_mpic_probe;
  +		smp_85xx_ops.setup_cpu = smp_85xx_setup_cpu;
   		smp_85xx_ops.message_pass = smp_mpic_message_pass;
  -	}
  +	} else
  +		smp_85xx_ops.setup_cpu = smp_85xx_basic_setup;

This will break the non-mpic board.

If we have a mpic, we will call mpic_setup_this_cpu(). But if not,
we would set the .setup_cpu to smp_85xx_basic_setup() to avoid
the invoking of mpic_setup_this_cpu().

OK, somehow I missed the change to .setup_cpu before. :-P
