Questions for SMP feature.

[Thomas Kim]

Dear Sebastian,

I already checked BSP code for Xlinx ZynQ and Altera Cyclone V. It was
useful for me.
I implemented bspsmp.c according to register description of SRC(System
Reset Controller) on i.MX6Q manual.

You said to me that IO device driver is called on boot processor only.
But, As I check io.c in cpukit/sapi/src, there is any code regarding this.

void _IO_Initialize_all_drivers( void )
{
   rtems_device_major_number major;
   _IO_All_drivers_initialized = true;
   for ( major=0 ; major < _IO_Number_of_drivers ; major ++ )
     (void) rtems_io_initialize( major, 0, NULL );
 }

I think that this function should be changed in below;

void _IO_Initialize_all_drivers( void )
{
   rtems_device_major_number major;
   if (_IO_All_drivers_initialized != true) {
     _IO_All_drivers_initialized = true;
     for ( major=0 ; major < _IO_Number_of_drivers ; major ++ )
       (void) rtems_io_initialize( major, 0, NULL );
   }
}

Please advise me.

Best Regards,
Thomas Kim
