Recent U-Boot commit 5ccd29c3679b3669b0bde5c501c1aa0f325a7acb caused
the "cpu-release-addr" device tree property to contain the physical RAM
location that secondary cores were spinning at. Previously, the
"cpu-release-addr" property contained a value referencing the boot page
translation address range of 0xfffffxxx, which then indirectly accessed
RAM.
The "cpu-release-addr" is currently ioremapped and the secondary cores
kicked. However, due to the recent change in "cpu-release-addr", it
sometimes points to a memory location in low memory that cannot be
ioremapped. For example on a P2020-based board with 512MB of RAM the
following error occurs on bootup:
<...>
mpic: requesting IPIs ...
__ioremap(): phys addr 0x1ffff000 is RAM lr c05df9a0
Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x00000014
Faulting instruction address: 0xc05df9b0
Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]
SMP NR_CPUS=2 P2020 RDB

<... eventual kernel panic>
Adding logic to conditionally ioremap or access memory directly resolves
the issue.
