Hi Sven,
Thanks for your patch.

Similar to what has been done before with c5437e5b for u-boot proper, we enable the SMP bit for SPL as well. This is necessary when SDP booting straight into Linux, i.e. falcon boot. When SDP boot mode is active, the ROM code does not set this bit which makes the caches not work once activated in Linux.
I suggest adding the data about the boot time difference that you noticed when booting FIT image via SPL in falcon mode versus U-Boot proper (1.2s versus 5s).

Since this affects all i.MX Cortex-A7 devices, please also add enable_ca7_smp() in: arch/arm/mach-imx/mx7/soc.c arch/arm/mach-imx/mx7ulp/soc.c
Thanks
