The early discussion is here:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-mips/patch/1594896024-16624-1-git-send-email-chenhc@lemote.com/

As Jiaxun said, it seems that this is a software limitation.
I think the initial aim of commit 9cce844abf07 ("MIPS: CPU#0 is not 
hotpluggable")
is to solve ltp test failure.

Yes, thank you, let me send a patch to do it.

Thanks,
