well, if it were unconditional then initializing children in initfn would
be fine, however here number of children to initialize depends on global
smp_cpus. In order to get rid of global, we could move iniialization to realize
time or init all FSL_IMX6_NUM_CPUS and realize only smp_cpus at realize time.
