Broadcom mobile SoCs use a ROM-implemented holding pen for controlled boot of secondary cores. A special register is used to communicate to the ROM that a secondary core should start executing kernel code. This enable method is currently used for members of the bcm281xx and bcm21664 SoC families. The use of an enable method also allows the SMP operation vector to be assigned as a result of device tree content for these SoCs.
