I have tested with SMP=n on a Armada 385 without any issues. So no
need to do that on the Armada XP.

There is still value in testing on the WRT1900ac device since so far I
have only tested on a Armada 385. The Armada XP does have
registers/etc. of the MPIC very similar to the 370, compared to the
385 having some significant differences. So if it is not too
problematic to test on (it appears to have its wifi attached via
PCIe?) please do.

Thanks,
Nathan
