The stack information for a secondary CPU (struct secondary_data) is passed on in x21 before the MMU is turned on. The boot CPU uses x21 to store the FDT pointer. In a common code shared by these CPUs, it gets difficult to use the information. So, we use x22 for passing the secondary_data and initialise it with NULL for the booting CPU for consistency. This will be used in a following patch.
