Hello Oleksandr,
Thank you very much for your input.

Yes. agree. I will check by removing A72 core from DT.

Thanks,
Bharat

It might be a consequence of that CPU cores are different. And they
might have different set of features, or even settings.
And these features/settings the boot CPU has don't compatible with
other (non-boot) CPUs.
Can you try not to bringup A72 core (remove it from DT or another
way), leave only two A35 and see what will happen.

Why? Does your device-tree have bootargs?

Sounds like GIC settings are not completely correct.
Wrong GIC settings might lead to that IPIs won't work as expected. And
boot CPU will
get stuck waiting for another CPU.
Just double check.
