I also have a 4 core mt7621 based board and this patch change does not
have problems for me. Let me know if you need me to check something
from my board.
I noticed that on boot the following message appears and might be
related with the way used here to make the core number detection:
[ 0.000000] VPE topology {2,2} total 4
Is this the same for your board?
