Subject: [PATCH] arm64: kernel: smp: ignore disabled cpu node

From: Peng Fan <[email protected]>

If the cpu node is set disabled in device tree, we should ignore the
node. i.MX8MP has some variants, which have one or two or four A53 cores.
The current imx8mp device tree use the full feature SoC. With such
device tree to bring the variant with one or two A53 cores will cause
issue.

The firmware will update the status property, and kernel will check the
property before bring up the core.

IIRC it has been discussed in the past[1][2], has anything changed now ?

Ok, removing cpu nodes also means we need also runtime update
cooling devices node, and etc.

Thanks,
