This platform was stale for a long time and got a little left behind.
Basic OS stuff was working but secondary core bringup didn't. It has
a slightly different set of choices from the "weird hardware
quirks" menu:
+ Like cAVS 1.5, it boots from a ROM that needs a short delay after
power-up before it can receive the startup IDC.
+ But, like 2.5 and unlike 1.5, it doesn't start running until the
PWRCTL bit for the core gets set by DSP software (1.5 gets launched
by the host). So the delay needed to move down a bit.
+ It wants that PWRCTL bit to be set last, after CLKCTL enables the
clock. (Which makes sense I guess: EE classes always tell you hold
circuits in reset while an initial clock propagates). Not sure why
it was in the reverse order originally; this way works for
everything.
+ The ROM likes to scribble on the interrupt controller and mask its
own IDC interrupts after we've already set it up. They have to be
unmasked. We had code to do this already, thinking it was a
workaround for legecy SOF code (that we never actually located).
Now I'm thinking it was this behavior all along being detected by
SOF's more extensive hardware CI. Take out the test and do it
always, it's like nine instructions.
+ The host/loader-side behavior is a mix of 1.5 and 2.5. It won't
actually start the secondary cores under host command, but it does
need to see bits set for them in ADSPCS for the DSP-initiated
power-up to work (2.5 would just ignore all but core 0's bits).
+ Also, like 1.5, it needs the host DMA stream to be explicitly
stopped (and not just reset) or else further loads will be unstable.
Note that the loader changes now require more logic than just "1.5 or
not", so the platform detection has been enhanced to fully categorize
the device based on PCI ID (not quite: we don't have any 2.0 platform
hardware, so I left that alone for now).
