If this no longer uses MCPM, you should get rid of "mcpm" from all the
names, comments etc. -- it's just confusing otherwise.

For Thumb, you need a ".align 2" here.
I've never understood why gas doesn't implicitly align .word on arches
that care about data alignment, but it doesn't...
Since the MMU isn't on yet, you may get alignment faults if the .word
is misaligned in the assembled code.

It's possible the firmware / boot ROM doesn't know how to branch
correctly to a Thumb symbol here. This is often missed in firmware
implementations (or deliberately omitted, since it easy to work
around in the OS).
Things you could try:
1) Add CFLAGS_mcpm.o += -marm
(to see whether building just this file as ARM fixes it).
2) Split sunxi_mcpm_secondary_startup out into a separate asm file
and build just that as ARM, so that the entry point from the firmware
is ARM.
If both work, the firmware can't branch directly to Thumb and so you
need to keep the secondary entry point as ARM code.
If (1) works but (2) doesn't, then there must be somthing else in this
file that is Thumb-incompatible, but I don't see it so far.
