    ARM64 / SMP: Switch pr_err() to pr_debug() for disabled GICC entry · f9058929
    Hanjun Guo authored
    It is normal that firmware presents GICC entry or entries (processors)
    with disabled flag in ACPI MADT, taking a system of 16 cpus for example,
    ACPI firmware may present 8 ebabled first with another 8 cpus disabled
    in MADT, the disabled cpus can be hot-added later.
    
    Firmware may also present more cpus than the hardware actually has, but
    disabled the unused ones, and easily enable it when the hardware has such
    cpus to make the firmware code scalable.
    
    So that's not an error for disabled cpus in MADT, we can switch pr_err()
    to pr_debug() to make the boot a little quieter by default.
    
    Since hwid for disabled cpus often are invalid, and we check invalid hwid
    first in the code, for use case that hot add cpus later will be filtered
    out and will not be counted in possible cups, so move this check before
    the hwid one to prepare the code to count for disabeld cpus when cpu
    hot-plug is introduced.
