Yes for all the "found" logic. I am fine to update the existing err

Drop all the above change.

You can add here: else if (cpu == -ENODEV)
	pr_info(...whatever you have below..)

Other things as is. Warning may be too harsh if one is running with
reduced number of CPUs.

Please read the description of of_parse_phandle. If you find other
issues with existing code, address it in separate patch and don't mix
with the issue in $subject.
