commit 0e870980a64584a591af775bb9c9fe9450124df9 ("8xxx: Removed CONFIG_NUM_CPUS from 85xx/86xx") breaks U-Boot on various boards, namely the ones that call get_sys_info() from board_early_init_f().
get_sys_info() calls cpu_numcores(), which depends on probecpu() being called before. But probecpu() is called after board_early_init_f(), and so cpu_numcores() returns random values, which in turn crashes get_sys_info().
To fix the issue we place probecpu() before board_early_init_f() in an initialization sequence.
Booting on the following boards should be revived now: mpc8540ads mpc8541cds mpc8548cds mpc8555cds mpc8560ads mpc8568mds mpc8569mds and maybe more.
