I have not hit any, I just thought it would be proper to have the
cpu_logical_map filled with only valid (ie present in HW) MPIDRs (and
by default initialized with MPIDR_INVALID, not 0s which are valid MPIDRs).
I wrote the patch while coding the MPIDR to logical CPU reverse look-up
for the CCI driver and noticed that, if for any reason we do not
constrain the look-up to possible cpus, we might get a logical index
for a CPU that does not exist since smp_setup_processor_id() initializes
the cpu_logical_map up to nr_cpu_ids, with values that might well be
real MPIDRs (but not present in HW).
If we pass an mpidr value to get_logical_index(), that function must not
return a logical index for an MPIDR that does not exist in HW. This can
happen with current code (but I do not think anyone will ever call
get_logical_index() with a mpidr value that has not been read from a CPU
coprocessor, so what I am saying is purely hypothetical).
True, we might check the return value is actually a CPU marked as possible,
provided that check is safe to carry out in low-level PM code where it is
likely to be used.
Overall it can be overkill, granted, it was just meant to clean-up the code,
no more than that.

Gah, sorry.
Thanks for having a look,
