Not sure I follow you here, in theory, each individual CPU could have a
different enable-method property, and considering how you leverage
existing DTS include files, you should be able to override the DTS with
the appropriate enable-method, or do you have a different problem?

I just submitted a patch series that switches such users to
__pa_symbol() instead of virt_to_phys() because this is a kernel image
symbol. For now this will work as-is, but depending on which patch
series makes it first, it may be a good idea to keep this on someone's
TODO list (yours or mine). I do expect having to make a second pass of
conversions anyway.

This can be probably be dropped, you should know fairly quickly if this
succeeded or not.

Can't this function be implemented as a smp_ops::smp_init_cpus instead
of having this initialization done at arch_initcall time?

You should be able to use of_io_request_and_map() and here.
