reviewerPATCH v2 1/1 ARM: mx6: Fix the number of reported cores
From: Fabio Estevam <[email protected]>
On a mx6 quad-core processor:
$ cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 model name : ARMv7 Processor rev 10 (v7l) BogoMIPS : 1581.05 Features : swp half thumb fastmult vfp edsp neon vfpv3 tls CPU implementer : 0x41 CPU architecture: 7 CPU variant : 0x2 CPU part : 0xc09 CPU revision : 10
,which incorrectly shows this is a single core device.
Commit a0ae0240 (ARM: kernel: add device tree init map function) introduced the following requirement according to Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/cpus.txt:
"For the ARM architecture every CPU node must contain the following properties:
- device_type: must be "cpu"
Pass the 'device_type' property for each cpu node, so that we can have all the four cores correctly reported again.

Changes since v1:
- Add missing ";" in the dual-lite .dtsi

Lorenzo had commit 7925e89 (ARM: dts: imx: cpus/cpu nodes dts updates) fixing up thing, which has just hit the mainline. But it seems we were unaware of this user space regression and did not apply the fix to 3.10. Now we have to apply it for 3.10 via stable tree.
