Would this mean that in a few years time STM32MP151, STM32MP231 and STM3MP251 wont be supported anymore by Linux when STLink kernel goes to 6.17 or beyond or this won't apply to non-Intel processors ?

Hello @debugging,
Enabling SMP on uniprocessor is supported, but this involves an overhead which slightly decreases kernel performances:
"But for anyone running in a uniprocessor world, making SMP unconditional does lead to some slight overhead". Source : the link your shared.
So STM32MP151, STM32MP231 and STM3MP251 will still be supported in kernel-6.17.
Thanks for having highlighted this information.
BR,
Christophe
