'Adding code...' is a pointless filler phrase.

s/propery/property/

Also this has nothing to do with U-Boot. The DT properties are described in
the DT bindings and not specified in U-Boot.

Where is the matching devicetree binding documented? This should be a
separate patch and needs to go into Documentation/devicetree/x86/

Please Cc the DT maintainers as we need their ack for that.

Changelogs should describe the context/problem and the approach how this is
fixed or made working. Something like this:

  The current x86 device tree implementation does not support SMP.

  Use the new DT bindings for describing CPUs and their APIC resources.

Hmm?

What kind of logic is this? If a CPU node does not have apic id property
then it's invalid. That else clause is just voodoo programming at least
without a proper comment explaining it.
