I personally think this sentence should be placed in the function
etm4_probe(), you need to move it just before smp call
etm4_init_arch_data(), this can allow DT property "qcom,skip-power-up"
to be respected.

I prefer to move the condition checking for "desc.access.io_mem" to
etm4_init_sysreg_access(), this can make sure the flag skip_power_up
is set correctly based on property of system register access.

A side topic, in the mainline kernel I found the value
"desc.access.io_mem" is always zero (see the initialized value in
etm4_probe() and etm4_init_sysreg_access()).  Should we initialize
desc.access.io_mem to true in etm4_probe()?
