Move mips_cm_probe after prom_init so we can use fdt functions
in mips_cm_probe to obtain essential information.

Impat for all systems that may have CM in system:
- geneirc: Adjusted code to accommodate this change
- Lantiq: No impact, CM configuration won't be changed at all
- ralink: Called mips_cm_probe on it's own, in prom_init->prom_soc_init
- malta: No impact, CM address comes from CP0_CMGCR

Are you sure about this? This was one of the problematic part I met
back when was trying to implement the feature.
arch/mips/mti-malta/malta-init.c:
prom_init()
+-> mips_cpc_probe()
    +-> mips_cpc_phys_base()
        +-> mips_cm_present(): mips_gcr_base != NULL
        +-> read_gcr_cpc_status()
        +-> read_gcr_cpc_base()
        +-> write_gcr_cpc_base()

So by moving mips_cm_probe() to being executed after prom_init() the
calls-chain above will be broken since the mips_gcr_base will be left
uninitialized. Do I miss something?

Please, note originally the mips_cm_probe() invocation was right
above the Malta's mips_cpc_probe():

Hi Serge,

Good catch! This is indeed a problem.
I tried to dig a little bit and found that a possible solution is to
move SMP initialization to device_tree_init(), as what generic platform
did.

I was able to test malta boot with this solution on my heavily patched
QEMU, I can confirm that both CM-SMP and scache are working as expected.

Will share my QEMU patches and configurations in next rev. 

Thanks
