Since MSM8916 is an ARM v8 64-bit SoC the CPU cores are normally booted using "psci" or "spin-table". Unfortunately, some devices come with signed 32-bit-only firmware without ARM64 and PSCI support. This setup is easy to support since it's very similar to older 32-bit only Qualcomm SoCs (e.g. MSM8226) and only requires adding a few new definitions to already existing drivers. Document the qcom,msm8916-smp enable-method. It is actually just an alias of qcom,msm8226-smp since it should be implemented identically. The enable-method is only valid on ARM32 and must not be used on ARM64.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
