@ewoodev Let's leave time difference in uptime in commit description. Booting logs as well

As NDP120 driver is initialized by parallelization using core 1 so, can it be done for other drivers as well which are done in serial manner currently?
and
one more thing,
If we make start of ndp120 initialization more early in void board_initialize(void), it can reduce wait time for synchronization. I mean to say we can fix initialization order for board_initialize() and make it early for independent peripherals as I2C etc.

Thank you for your comment.
it takes about 1.6 seconds to initialize ndp during driver initialization.
The rest of the drvier initialization is less than 1.6.
Therefore, initializing other drivers in parallel can delay the completion of cpu0 after an already long ndp initialization.

ndp120 uses resource fs and smartfs.
Currently, it is the fastest init start time.

I got your point for keeping ndp120 driver only for core 1.
as a suggestion, can it help

Current order:
board_gpio_initialize();
board_i2c_initialize();
board_i2s_initialize();

#ifdef CONFIG_AUDIO_NDP120
rtl8730_ndp_init_pre();
#endif

New order:
board_gpio_initialize();

#ifdef CONFIG_AUDIO_NDP120
rtl8730_ndp_init_pre();
#endif

board_i2c_initialize();
board_i2s_initialize();
