Can't you just point i.MX7D to start from secondary_startup
rather than v7_secondary_startup?

 ENTRY(v7_secondary_startup)
+       .word   0xc070                  @ 0xc07 is cortex-a7 id
+       .word   0xfff0                  @ mask for core type
+

This looks like you are trying to execute instructions that are
actually data. Does this work?

On a side note, could you rename v7_secondary_startup to
imx6_secondary_startup? The name sounds overly generic
on a multiplatform kernel.
