I expected that the secure stack is initialized by bootROM, but after check on 
2018.07-rc2,
I got a crash also with the stm32mp1 platform.

After code review, my behavior  is clearly not safe: I don't sure that the 
initial BootROM stack
is not overlapping the installed PSCI monitor code or data.
So I agree:  it is needed to initialize the stack in psci_cpu_entry.

Moreover after your patch the crash is solved for my platform stm32mp1.

Test done on stm32mp1 platform

Thanks!
