The ERR050104 cache coherency workaround for the NXP i.MX8QuadMax and
i.MX8QuadPlus SoCs has been merged upstream as commit d44e08dab27d
("arm64: errata: Add NXP i.MX8QM/8QP workaround for A53 cache coherency
issue").
The workaround addresses a hardware defect where the upper address bits
of the ARADDR and ACADDR buses within the Cortex-A53 subsystem were
incorrectly connected, causing TLBI and IC maintenance operations
exchanged between the A53 and A72 clusters to be corrupted.
Before the software workaround was available, affected board DTS files
worked around this issue at the DT level by removing the Cortex-A72 CPU
nodes (cpu@100, cpu@101), the cpu-map topology, and associated thermal
zones, effectively running the SoC as a single A53-only cluster.
With the kernel-side fix in place, these DT-level workarounds could be
dropped.

The ERR050104 cache coherency workaround for i.MX8QM/8QP has been
merged upstream (d44e08dab27d). The workaround addresses the incorrect
wiring of upper address bits in the A53 subsystem that corrupts TLBI and
IC maintenance operations between A53 and A72 clusters.
Previously the A72 CPUs (cpu@100, cpu@101), the cpu-map, and the
cpu1-thermal zone were removed from the MEK board DT to avoid incorrect
cross-cluster coherency maintenance. With the software workaround in place,
restore all deleted nodes.

from the TQMa8QM DTSI with an explicit comment "Due to missing
workaround for ERR050104". With the software workaround is in place,
remove the workaround-comment block and restore the full SMP topology.
